The Trends on the Study of Language Power and the Sociolinguistical Approaches

Jae-young Heo

Abstract

Innorder to understand what language power means to sociolinguistics, we willnsearch for the relation between language and power in various academic fields;nfor example in linguistics, philosophy, history and literature.nI searched various theses and works related to language power. But no onenhas used this term in a technical sense. Many scholars have used ‘language andnpower’ instead of ‘language power’. This tendency is similar to sociolinguistics.nI couldn't find this term in the dictionary of sociolinguistics. But I found ‘languagenchange, language contact, language conflict, language rights and shifts’. We takena broad view that these terms are related to language and power indirectly.nThe results are as follows:nFirst, language is used for communication, therefore language is related tonrace, culture and societies. This means language is related to social powernelements. Discrimination of language by race, gender and class for example,nindicated the problem of language power in the language community.nSecond, power is essentially related to inner order or intergroup-relationships.nIn this respect, many linguistic scholars were concerned about the function ofnlanguage or class.nThird, I found many literary researchers were concerned about languagenpower in works. They were concerned about the expression relating to character'snstatus. This theme related to discourse analysis.nFourth, I after researching the history of foreign language power, I reachednthe conclusion that the study of language power is one of sociolinguisticalnproblems and this problem implied a historical background.
