Abstract

This article discusses the aspects of sociology and sociolinguistics. The development of some concurrent approaches in the fields of sociology, anthropology, and linguistics began in 1960s, the leading perspectives expected to propose a satisfactory scheme for disciplinary integration. Today, sociology is confined to the orthodox of theory of system-constrained social order, externally governed by lawlike regularities. There has emerged a large and vital stream of sociological theoretical perspectives in which language is seen from the point of view of the constitutive role of meaning and communication for the orderly character of human interaction on all levels of organization of social life.
