a.
Language
Hudson (1996, p. 22) defines a variety of language as ‘a set of
linguistic items with similar distribution, a definition that allows us to say
that all of the following are varieties: Canadian English, London English, the
English of football commentaries, and so on. According to Hudson, this
definition also allows us ‘to treat all the languages of some multilingual
speaker, or community, as a single variety, since all the linguistic items
concerned have a similar social distribution.’ A variety can therefore be
something greater than a single language as well as something less. less even
than something traditionally referred to as a dialect.
The
terms of variety language are emerged due to different systems reflecting
different varieties of the human condition. Variety is a specific set of
‘linguistic items’ or ‘human speech patterns’ (presumably, sounds, words,
grammatical features, etc.) which we can connect with some external factor
apparently, a geographical area or a social group (Hudson, 1996; Ferguson, 1972
and Wardhaugh, 2006). Languages can be at variance in lexical, grammatical,
phonological and other ways depends on different social, geographical and other
circumstances determine what elements will be needed and, therefore developed,
and for that reason sociolinguistics believe that such unique sets of items or
patterns do exist.
b.
Dialects
Dialect
divided into two : 1. Regional dialect 2. Socio language.
1. Regional
dialect
Certain
differences from geographical area one to another in pronunciation, in the
selecting and constructing of words, and in syntax of a language such
distinctive varieties of local variety are called regional dialects (Wardhough,
2006). The study that investigates different varieties on the basis of clusters
of similar and different features in particular regions, towns or villages is
called regional dialectology (Edward, 2009). It is quite interesting that the
discriminations respondents make in exercises like the Map drawing task and the
accent-ordering task are often similar to the discriminations linguists make
between varieties. Dialect–patois distinction is Patois is usually used to
describe only rural forms of speech; we may talk about an urban dialect, but to
talk about an urban patois. Patois also seems to refer only to the speech of
the lower strata in society; again, we may talk about a middle-class dialect
but not, apparently, about a middle-class patois. Finally, a dialect usually
has a wider geographical distribution than a patois.
2. Socio
language
Social
dialect is difference speech associate with various social groups. Social
dialects create among social groups and are related to a variety of factors
such as social class, religion, and ethnicity. In India, for example, caste is
one of the clearest of all social differentiators. Branch of linguistic study
that linguistically city characterized is called social dialectology.
Ethnic
group in USA AAVE (African American Vernacular English), also known as
Ebonics, Black English (BE), Black English Vernacular (BEV) show hyper
corrective tendencies in that they tend to overdo certain imitative
behaviors freely use the habitual form of misapplication rules. Hyper
correction is the overgeneralization of linguistic forms which carry obvious social
prestige often through the misapplication of rules (e.g. allows
deletion ‘They are going’ can become ‘They going’and dog
pronounce as the vocal of book : dug).
c.
Variaties
In sociolinguistics a variety,
also called a lect, is a specific form of a language or language cluster. This may include languages, dialects, registers, styles or
other forms of language, as well as a standard variety.[1] The use of the word
"variety" to refer to the different forms avoids the use of the
term language, which many people associate only with the standard
language, and the term dialect, which is often associated with
non-standard varieties thought of as less prestigious or "correct"
than the standard.[2] Linguists speak of both
standard and non-standard varieties. "Lect" avoids the problem in
ambiguous cases of deciding whether or not two varieties are distinct languages
or dialects of a single language.
at the level of the lexicon, such as slang and argot,
is often considered in relation to particular styles or levels of formality
(also called registers), but such uses are sometimes discussed as varieties as
well.

At pages 28 in our course book, language and
dialect is ambiguous term. So what is mean??
b. TM
How can language have many differenceses, example
language a country different to another country?
Answer
: Section 2
a. By
Dela to Desi
No one really knows what is language real
mean. Sometimes language have ambigu meaning. Example : Iam fine, means someon
still in good condition or good feeling. But in Fact, Iam fine is not always
means okay, but also, something wrong happened with someone’s feeling. By that
case, we see that language and dialect is ambiguous.
b. By
Dela to Tm
Eventhough language born from agreement between humans.
But. In the past (long long time ago) we have no ability to conneted to another
island. Because of that they makes their agreement language with their clans.
