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 various issues, concepts and concerns associated with this area, as they have bearing 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 definitions 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.
