Im going to be honest right now. Firstly thank you so much for the clean video. It was indeed very helpful... but my problem is, In general we don't give enough value to helpful people like you and that bothers me a lot because without you I don't think I could learn the basics of sociolinguistics. We don't look up for you until we have an exam or whatever, so Im here to give some love :) thank you so much again. (not a native speaker of English)

Wow I just looked up Wiliam Labov again as you reminded me he exists, he is 94 years old as of today. He put 60 years into the study given he started in 1960. Such a die hard icon. Thanks for the video.
I find your videos highly educative, especially as I'm preparing for my sociolinguistics test, thank you!
I really liked the way you taught this course. I really learnt and finally I could clear my doubts about what a dialect is. Keep going! Thanks a lot!
Good evening. I am a MA student in linguistics and this video has been recommended to us as an essential introduction to Sociolinguistics. I would like to thank you as I found it really useful.
Thank you very much for this video, it helps English Language students to go deeper into the sociolinguistics study.
Excellent video! I've watched other videos about this subject, but the distinction between linguistics and sociolinguistics became really clear to me when I saw your slides about internal and external factors that explain variation.
This is splendid and inspirational! Thanks a lot, Martin. I hope you carry on creating these great videos.
U have shared almost every element related to language variation .i must say hats off to u.thats y i dare to ask my questions.thnx alot
Thanks a lot! This video has helped me understand Lyons as well. Really look forward to watching the following ones. Cheers from Argentina.
This is one of my favorite videos on KZread. Love your channel.
What an excellent video! You are such an engaging presenter. I appreciate the use of a note slideshow, especially one that has so many specific audio and visual examples of the concepts. I wish my actual university presented class material this effectively.
This is a very complete video about Sociolinguistics, good examples and detailed explanation. Thanks!
i must acknowledge this is a great video. thanks
This is an amazing video, I could comprehend many things about sociolinguistics because everything is explained so clearly. This is a great resource to share and discuss in class, thank you for this wonderful video. Good job!
Every single word you said is really appreciated, thank you for such great effort 🌹🌹🌹
This is the kind of Professor I need for life!
Another great lecture! Thank you Dr. Hilpert.
I found this video very useful. Personally, I think everything is very well explained. This video pluss the discussion that we have had in class about these particular topics and concepts make me understand better what sociolinguistic is about. thus thank you very much for share your knowledge with us. Miriam Gabriela Ramos.
I really appreciate your timing for explaining these sociolinguistics issues in such a professional way and thepatience you have as presenter, especially for those whose English is not their second language, so we understand perfectly.

Many thanks for your feedback! I'm glad to hear that.
This is so interesting, thank you. I am sure most people will be aware that Mrs Thatcher's accent around 36.30 was not her native accent. She had elocution/public speaking lessons to develop it.
Great video! Thanks for this short, informative, brilliant introduction to language variation and its role in sociolinguistics.

Love it!! Thanks so much Martin.
Sociolinguistics is difficult But is important for learning Difference between levels the language Video is wonderful Thank you very much
Dear Professor, thank you for giving such a good lecture! I like the way you introduce the study. I can see that you're really teaching, passing the knowledge instead of showing that you know these things :))) Hope one day I'll have the opportunity to attend your course.
I am an undergraduate student who took an introduction to linguistics course and loved it. Since that was all my school offered, I decided to do an independent study in sociolinguistics. This presentation was extremely helpful and I look forward to your other videos!

Thank you professor big respect from Morocco 🇲🇦
Thank you very much for video. Very clear explanations. Really enjoyed.
This is interesting, entertaining and informative. I can also see how RP (BBC) English was an indicator of upper class upbringing and at the other end Cockney English a symbol of the working class. The news reader with RP English has long gone. Maggie thatcher was a good example of RP as is Joanna Lumley. In N Ireland drive 20 kilometres in any direction and the dialect changed, but in NZ especially the North island, the dialect remained the same over the entire island. In the south of NZ people rolled their rs in Invercargill due to the influence of Scottish settlers. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and research.
Very useful. Thanks a lot, sir.
thank you very much prof, this video really helped me in preparing my dissertation proposal about variations of local languages in Indonesia :)

Many thanks, Manuel! There have been so many friendly comments in the past days, are you guys all from the same linguistics class? Anyway, I'm happy that you found the video useful!
Thank you for sharing sir here are my highlights i've listed: - Sociolinguistics is the study of language variation in society, including pronunciation, vocabulary, and sentence structure. - Language choices reflect social identity and are influenced by factors such as geography, socioeconomic class, ethnicity, gender, age, and sexual orientation. - Dialects are characteristic of specific groups and are just as grammatical as standard varieties. - Sociolinguists examine both linguistic and social factors to explain language variation. - Overt prestige is associated with standard language, while covert prestige is linked to stigmatized dialect features. - Sociolinguistics reveals how language variation is shaped by society and identity.
Your explanation about the phonological difficulty in pronouncing "cleverer" in AE is interesting . It is definitely difficult to articulate, but my language teachers always taught us that one-syllable words could take "-er" endings, but two or more syllable words had to be formed with "more."

Your teacher gave you an explanation that is easy to remember and that works well most of the time. That's what a good teacher should do. However, there are many 2-syllable adjectives that prefer "-er": easy, heavy, simple, etc. And then there are also 1-syllable adjectives that prefer "more": real, ill, dire, etc. If you want the full scoop on English comparatives, look here: members.unine.ch/martin.hilpert/ECSU.pdf
Very informative and entertaining at the same time, TY!

Hi, I would like to ask you about the rhetorical effect in a speech or a text. Could you please explain the concept and its connection in a spoken and written text?/ Best regards
Many Thanks Sir.
