Linguistic Correlates of Social Class

This book goes deep into the linguistic correlates of social class factors. It is manifested that social class is greatly correlated with educational social class factors. Life style factors are correlated with the language pattern used by various classes. Although financial social factors are not correlated with language pattern, Bernstein's Coding Theory is highly supported in the Iranian context. The findings of this book can be of great value for sociologists, sociolinguists, applied linguists, and discourse analysts.
