The SSRC's Committee on Sociolinguistics was committed to furthering attention to language, and linguistic difference, as an "unexploited kind of sociological data" in ethnographic and survey research. The committee convened a conference in 1968 to better understand the intersection of social and linguistic factors, summarized here by Allen D. Grimshaw. The group focused on four topics: the ethnography of asking questions; the meaning of words; the ways in which interviews themselves are "a part of the data" and "don't know" responses are revealing answers to questions; and improving scholars' training in framing questions and eliciting answers related to language and communication
