Sociolinguistics as an independent discipline is primarily concerned
With systematising the intricacies of the relationship between language and
society With empirical evidences. The language used in a society corresponds
to the social structure of that particular society at various levels. Individuals'
preference of one language or language variety over the others is, thus,

determined by several socio-cultural aspects of the society the individuals
belong to. Sociolinguistics attempts at answering the questions of how
linguistic choice is related to patterns of social behaviour, What the social
conditions are under which individuals of a society involves in code switching
and code mixing, how individuals' preference of their one language or its
varieties over others affects their relationships with the others and how
members of one particular speech community perceive the language of those
belonging to the different speech communities. To answer these questions
would mean to describe various relationships between language and society.
These relationships operate throughout a society at both macro and micro
levels.
Language attitude studies are the subject of interest Within the realm
of sociology of language - particularly 'dynamic sociology of language' ? that
seeks to provide an answer to the question "What accounts for differential
changes in the social organization of language use and behavior toward
language~" (Fishman 1972: 2-3). Before proceeding towards a research on
language attitude, a researcher requires to understand van'ous issues,
concepts and concerns associated with this area, as they have beating on any
research in the sociology of language. Attitude is a vital concept in social
psychology as Allport claims that it is 'social psychology's most distinctive and
indispensible concept? (cited in-Eiser 1986: 9) and therefore it is necessary to
discuss various problems and issues related to attitude in social psychology.
In the present article we shall discuss in some detail various de?nitions of
attitude, relationship between attitude and behaviour and structure of
attitude. We shall also investigate the factors that lead to an inconsistent
relationship between attitude and behaviour, etc.
