1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Writing
This paper is talking about society human beings and water. It can be said that human beings cannot be separated with water. It cannot be denied that wter is one thing that
is very important hting for human beings to keep their lives. It can be realized that no individual can live his life without the present of water. It is very similarly to the functions of
a language to human beings. Any people will agree that none can keep alive without the present of language in his lives. It can be said that none can do anything without the present
of a langugage. It is as the same as the functions of water for human beings. Sociolinguisticsis not simply an amalgam of linguistics and sociology or indeed of
linguistics and any other of the social sciences. It embraces, in principle at least, every aspect of the structure and use of language that relates to its social and cultural functions. It will be
clear enough from the present time that sociolinguistics is a very wide brief. The study of language as part of culture and society has acquired the now commonly
accepted label sociolinguistics. But any single name for such a vast field of inquiry would be misleading if interpreted too literally. Just as the study of culture and society cannot be the
prerogative of any one discipline, so that of their linguistic aspects cannot properly be represented as some kind of amalgam of sociology and linguistics. It is-instructive to consider
the spread of expressions which have been used at one time or another, including: the sociology of language, social linguistics, sociological linguistics, anthropological
linguistics, linguistic anthropology, ethnolinguistics, and the ethnography of communication. Furthermore, what may be the most fruitful growing points for future
development namely, where linguistics meets with social anthropology and social psychology are not likely to be terminologically recognized at all, for obvious reasons
although the social psychology of language choice comes quite near to the latter.
