4.2.3 Social Meaning
The meaning conveyed by the piece of language about the social context of its use is called the social meaning. The decoding of text is dependent on our
knowledge of stylistics and other variations of language. We recognize some words or something about the regional or social origin of the speaker. Social meaning is
related to the situation in which an utterance is used. It is concerned with the social circumstances of the use of a linguistic expression.
Stylistic variation represents the social variation. This is because styles show the geographical region social class of the speaker. Style helps us to know about the
period, field and status of the discourse. Some words are similar to others as far as their conceptual meaning is concerned, but they have different stylistic meaning.
If we understand synonymy as complete equivalence of communicative effect, it is indeed hard to find an example that will disprove this statements.
