By language, people can make interaction and making communication with others and also people can transfer information to others and people can express ideas and emotions, make sense of complex and abstract thoughts, to fulfill our wants and needs, as well as to establish rules and maintain our culture. Language is a system of communication not just through language but through such means as a gestures, art, dress and music. Often times they will refer to language as a verbal behavior, which is include gestures and body movements as well as spoken word. Behaviorists often define language as a learned behavior involving a stimulus and a response. The language offers a vast array of choices in sentence structure, phrasing, vocabulary, verb tense, and voice. Fiction writers use this variety to their advantage in crafting a thought, description, or action. Different language choices can create a huge range 3 of styles and tones for any given expression. These different styles and tones give the story its unique meaning. In most cases, a story’s way of being told is at least as significant as its content. Linguistics is science that conducted within a field of a language. Linguistics is multidisciplinary, specialist in many disciplines bring their own expertise to the study of language. Linguistics is a property of the human mind, they have contributed many insights into such topics as how people acquire language. Linguistics is the scientific study of human language, it’s consists of phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics and sociolinguistics. Sociolinguistics is the study of the relation between language and society. Sociolinguistics also branch of linguistics and sociology. Sociolinguistics focus on what factor of language and language’s effect on the society, including cultural norms expectation, interaction, context and the way language is used including language varieties and language style and how people use it in daily life. Language style is defined as the choice of words used by a specific group of people when speak in a place and in one condition. Language Style is pivotal of construct in the study of sociolinguistics variation. Language style is very important for people to express their ideas, people use style depend on with whom they speak and where they speaking too. So, people can suit the style with rules well. Speaking is the delivery of language through the mouth. Speaking is happen when two or more people talk about something.

Sociolinguistics Language is a good way for people to connect from one people to many people. By language, people can share, transfer and get the information. If there is no language there is no good communication and then people can express their ideas and emotions. According to Meyerhoff(2007: 2) “sociolinguistics is a very broad field, and it can be used to describe many different ways of studying language”. A major challenge that sociolinguistics face is that a lot of the time speakers are completely unaware of the ways in which language used in differently contexts .Language can changes, the fact that language changes is indisputable and inevitable. Sociolinguistics interested in variation and change can be drawn in straight line. In sociolinguistics, language is the means by which groups of people articulate, themselves, and delineate themselves from others. According to Anthony (2010:16) “sociolinguistics is a developing branch of linguistics and sociology which investigates the individual and social variation of language”. Just as regional variation of language can give a lot of information about the place the speaker is from, social variation tells about the roles performed by a given speaker within one community, or country. Sociolinguistics is also a branch of sociology in that it reveals the relationship between language use and the social basis for such use. Sociolinguistics differs from sociology of language in that the focus of sociolinguistics is the effect of the society on the language, while the latter's focus is on the language's effect on the society. Sociolinguistics is a practical, scientific discipline which researches into the language that is actually used, either by native speakers or foreigners, in order to formulate theories about language change. According to Ball (2010:12) “sociolinguistics is how speakers group themselves in socially meaningful ways”. It is exploring the relationship between speech and social status, which is of course still one of the main aims of the field. The main aim of sociolinguistics is to study language in its social and cultural context. This includes the study of language in a society or speech community, language varieties, and language functions. Sociolinguistics relates the differences observed in language use to the problems that arise from those societal aspects. It is relationship between speech and social status, which is of course still the one of the main aims of the field. 5 The Relation Between Language and Society Language is not simply a means of communicating information about a subject, but it is also a very important means of establishing and maintaining relationships with other people and it is known that language plays a crucial role and a vital role in human life and also has many advantages of many various aspects of human life. In a social reflection like conversation, we can indicate a language behavior in which the function and variation of languages in establishing social relationships is reflected. The importance of these relationships has led to the growth of a relatively new sub- discipline within linguistics; Sociolinguistics. It is a broad but fair generalization to say that much of linguistics has in the past completely ignored the relationship between language and society-language is very much social phenomenon and then it is a broad field used to describe many different ways of language various.
