What is Linguistics?

Linguistics is the science that studies the aspects of a language, its object of study is the grammar of a language, that is, linguistics studies the structure and evolution of human language in all the complexity of its operation and its realizations in the various languages.

What is the relation between Linguistics with the sociolinguistics' study object?

The relationship between linguistics and sociolinguistics is that both study language as a system of signs, sociolinguistics studies said system of signs within a social context and linguistics studies said system of signs as fundamental structures of human language.

How does language or the use of the “word” become a source of social and political power?

Language is a "map" of what we internally imagine, feel and think, each person develops a map that is more or less useful in their communication with themselves or in their interaction with others.

Therefore, language becomes one of the main filters of personal reality, since through it identity, values and beliefs are expressed, for which the measure of the power of language would be defined as the measure of ability to influence oneself or others.

Why is it important to carry out Socio - linguistics studies?

It is important since it is understood what language is and why its importance, it is understood where language comes from since through it identity, values and beliefs are expressed, it is a form of signs that, when used properly, can influence people. Furthermore, sociolinguistics try to determine not only why a speaker says something, but why he says it, to whom he says it and what he does when he says something.
