LINGUISTIC DIFFERENCES ACCORDING TO FAMILY BACKGROUND AND ECONOMIC STATUS VARIABLES

Abstract

The linguistic diversity and heterogeneity coexist with social diversity. There is no case in which the social and ethno-cultural community is linguistically homogeneous, as there is no known situation where social and ethno-cultural communities are socially homogeneous. Currently available studies show that there are five factors affecting linguistic behavior of individuals of a social community. They are: age, gender, ethnic group, socioeconomic class and family background. However, given that the study in question is realized at the University of “Ismail Qemali”, the objects of the study is focused on two linguistic variables: family background and economic status.
