Sociolinguistics vs. Genetic and Typological Linguistics

Author(s): Dalibor Brozović
Subject(s): Language and Literature Studies
Published by: Hrvatsko filološko društvo

Summary/Abstract: Genetic linguistics deals with family relations between idioms, i. e., between languages and dialects, while typological linguistics deals with inner structural relations within a particular idiom and compares them with each other. The facts in each of these linguistics do not have value of arguments in another; not to mention sociolinguistics which deals with the nature of particular idioms in connection with their respective speach communities. Of course, sociolinguistic facts are of no value for other two kinds of linguistics. All these relations are exemplified by the role of sound [e] in Croatian and other (South)Slavonic languages.
