Abstract
This paper offers an introductory perspective on sociolinguistics by framing language as a social phenomenon embedded in cultural and historical contexts. It outlines key premises of sociolinguistic inquiry—variation, social evaluation of forms, and interaction—and argues for an interpretive approach that considers identities, settings, and functions of linguistic choices.
