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 Qemaliâ€, the objects of the study is focused on two linguistic variables: family background and economic status.
