The multicultural turn in sociolinguistics
Dimensions of multilingualism and language contact
Contact, Diffusion and Divergence
The study discusses the outcomes of the contact and diffusion in two contact varieties of Assamese with respect to classifiers.

The d…
Standard-ness, national ideologies and their embedding in ‘sociolinguistic theory’
In spite of the centrality of the vernacular in sociolinguistics, we find, it is constantly pitched against the standard, failing to make meaning on its own. It is common practice in western sociolinguistics to identify variants as standard or non-standard, thus marking a distinction between the two and their social meanings. However, when researching English in non-western contexts, such a distinction may not always be tenable. This study report…

Post Pandit, sociolinguistics in India took a ma…
