Abstract

In daily life, we employ languages for a variety of reasons. The majority of individuals speak multiple
languages, and they can be classified as multilingual (speaking more than two languages) or bilingual
(speaking two languages). As Wardhaugh explains, language can be simply described as a system or
code that societies use to communicate with one another. They are compelled to cooperate by figuring
out their shared code, even if this system may be the same for two persons or completely different.
Communities and their cultures influence any linguistic or speech changes. In addition to studying the
relationship between language and society, sociolinguistics also addresses phenomena that are
specifically related to this field of study, such as pidgins and creoles.
