Oluwakemi Israel Mass communication This video made me understand all the related concepts of English And also the difference between the sociolet and dialect
This video made me to realize that dialect and sociolect are two related but distinct concepts in linguistics: 1. Dialect is a regional or geographic variation of a language, which differs from the standard language in terms of pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar; while Sociolect is a social variation of a language, which is shaped by the factors of the social group which individuals belong to. 2. Dialects share a common set of features, such as accent, vocabulary, and grammatical structures, that distinguish them from other dialects; while Sociolects reflect the social identity of their speakers and can be used to signal membership in a particular social group. 3. Dialects are often mutually intelligible, meaning that speakers of one dialect can generally understand speakers of another dialect, although there may be some difficulties; while Sociolects often exhibit variable features, such as pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammatical structures, that can vary depending on the social context.

Example: People in Scotland might say "wee" for "small." While 2. Idiolect: This is how one individual person speaks. Everyone has their own unique style of talking, including favorite words, pronunciation, and tone. Example to compare: Dialect: In India, some people say "What's your good name?" (a common Indian English phrase). Idiolect: One person might always say, "Hey buddy, what's up?" because it’s their personal way of speaking.
Name - Adeoti Victor Adetayo Programme - Information Science and Media Studies Differentiation between dialect and idiolect Dialect can be seen as a variety of a particular language, it is affected by the communities of speakers that is people from certain differences that are different from other varieties of that language. Idiolect means language behavior of an individual, it can also be seen as language which an individual is known for or identified with, e.g Pastor E. A. Adeboye, anytime he preaches, he would always say let somebody shout hallelujah, so with this kind of expression we can know the person talking without seeing him or her and, so we can say this is a peculiar or most commonly used language of Pastor E. A. Adeboye. So dialect and idiolect are two kinds of language behavior, while dialect deals with community of people, idiolect is a language behavior of an individual. Dialect is a variety of a particular language which means it comprises and encompasses many languages while idiolect is peculiar, it is common to an individual or what the individual is mostly known for.

This video made me understand all the related concepts of English
And also the difference between the sociolet and dialect
This video made me to realize that dialect and sociolect are two related but distinct concepts in linguistics:
1. Dialect is a regional or geographic variation of a language, which differs from the standard language in terms of pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar; while Sociolect is a social variation of a language, which is shaped by the factors of the social group which individuals belong to.
2. Dialects share a common set of features, such as accent, vocabulary, and grammatical structures, that distinguish them from other dialects; while Sociolects reflect the social identity of their speakers and can be used to signal membership in a particular social group.
3. Dialects are often mutually intelligible, meaning that speakers of one dialect can generally understand speakers of another dialect, although there may be some difficulties; while Sociolects often exhibit variable features, such as pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammatical structures, that can vary depending on the social context.

Jargons: it's a type of non- technical register used between members of a group to discuss topics in a way outsiders may not understand.

A dialect is a particular form of a language that is specific to a region or group,but it is different in pronunciation. For example, in yoruba language we have the Ekiti dialect, oyo dialect, osun dialect, Egba dialect and ondo dialect. We speak the same language but different dialect.Dialects can be influenced by geographical, historical, and social factors.
On the other hand, a sociolect refers to a variety of language that is associated with a particular social group. This could be based on factors such as class, occupation, age, or ethnicity. Sociolects often reflect the social identity of the speakers and can include unique slang or specific ways of speaking that are distinct within that group.

Differences between Dialect and Sociolates
The terms "dialect" and "sociolect" both refer to varieties of language, but they differ in their focus:
1. Dialect refers to a particular form of a language spoken in a specific region or by a specific group. It encompasses variations in vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar. Dialects are often associated with geographic areas, and speakers of the same dialect might be from different social groups. For example, the "British English" dialect differs from the "American English" dialect.
2. Sociolect, on the other hand, refers to a variety of language used by a specific social group, which could be based on factors such as social class, age, ethnicity, occupation, or education level. It focuses on how language reflects social identity, and can vary even within a single geographic area. For instance, the way teenagers speak in a city might be considered a sociolect distinct from the language used by older generations.
In short, dialect is tied more to geography, while sociolect is tied to social groups.

Jargon is the special language or technical terms used by people in a specific profession or group. It’s often hard for outsiders to understand. For example, doctors might say "hypertension" instead of "high blood pressure."
A Register is the way we change our language depending on the situation or who we’re talking to. It can be formal, informal, or casual. For instance, you’d speak differently to your boss than to your best friend.
Differences
1. Jargon is about technical terms in a field; register is about tone and style of speech.
2. Jargon helps professionals communicate precisely; register helps people adapt to situations.
3. Jargon is for insiders of a group; register is for everyone, based on context.

Differentiation between dialect and idiolect
Dialect can be seen as a variety of a particular language, it is affected by the communities of speakers that is people from certain differences that are different from other varieties of that language.
Idiolect means language behavior of an individual, it can also be seen as language which an individual is known for or identified with, e.g Pastor E. A. Adeboye, anytime he preaches, he would always say let somebody shout hallelujah, so with this kind of expression we can know the person talking without seeing him or her and, so we can say this is a peculiar or most commonly used language of Pastor E. A. Adeboye.
So dialect and idiolect are two kinds of language behavior, while dialect deals with community of people, idiolect is a language behavior of an individual. Dialect is a variety of a particular language which means it comprises and encompasses many languages while idiolect is peculiar, it is common to an individual or what the individual is mostly known for.
