This study explores the interrelationship between linguistics and sociology, which are the two pivotal fields within social sciences that significantly influence human communication and behavior in different social aspects. It provides a comparative analysis of both disciplines, aiming to clarify commonalities and divergences in their approaches to understanding language and social dynamics. Definitions and central concepts from each field are examined, emphasizing their complementary nature in shaping social identities and interactions. The research identifies key issues, methodologies, and significant theories that illustrate how language functions as a social tool, reflecting cultural norms and societal structures. By highlighting the importance of sociolinguistics, the study underscores the necessity for a holistic understanding of how language and society influence one another in the domain of social background. The findings advocate for enhanced educational frameworks to support students in these disciplines, ultimately contributing to a deeper comprehension of human communication within social contexts.
