sociologySociology of language focuses on the language s effect on the society . It is closely related to the field of sociolinguistics , which focuses on the effect of the society on the language. One of its longest and most prolific proponents is Joshua Fishman , who among other major contributions, founded and still edits the International Journal of the Sociology of Language . A sociology of language would seek to understand the way that social dynamics are affected by individual and group language use. It would have to do with who is authorized to use what language, with whom and under what conditions. It would have to do with how an individual or group identity is established by the language that they have available for them to use. It would seek to understand individual expression, one s libidinal investment in the linguistic tools that one has access to in order to bring oneself to other people.

sociology A dyad from Greek d o , two in sociology is a noun used to describe a group of two people. Dyadic is an adjective used to describe this type of communication interaction. A dyad is the smallest possible social group. The pair of individuals in a dyad can be linked via romantic interest, family relation, interests, work, partners in crime and so on. The relation can be based on equality, but may be based on an asymmetrical or hierarchical relationship master servant . The strength of the relationship is evaluated on the basis of time the individuals spend together, as well as on the emotional intensity of their relationship. This type of social group can be considered unstable due to the importance of both individuals needing to cooperate to make this arrangement work. If one of the two members fails to complete their duties, the group would fall apart. Due to the significance of marriages in society, their stability is extremely important. For this reason marital dyads are often enforced through legal, economic, and religious laws. ref Macionis, John J., and Linda Marie Gerber. Sociology. 7th ed. Toronto Pearson Prentice Hall, 2011. 153 54. Print. ref Dyadic friendship s refer to the most immediate and concrete level of peer Social interaction interaction , which is expanded to include new forms of relationships in adolescence most notably, romantic and sexual relationships.

In sociology , macrostructures , often simply called structure , correspond to the overall organization of society , described at a rather large scale level, featuring for instance social Groupsociology groups , organizations , institutions , nation states and their respective properties and relations. In this case, societal macrostructures are distinguished from societal microstructures consisting of the situated social interaction of social actors, often described in terms of human agency agency . This distinction in sociology has given rise to the well known macro micro debate, in which microsociologists claim the primacy of interaction as the constituents of societal structures, and macrosociologists the primacy of given social structure as a general constraint on interaction.

sociology Unreferenced date March 2008 In sociology a triad is a group of three people. It is one of the simplest human groups that can be studied and is mostly looked at by microsociology . The study of triads, as well as dyad sociology dyad s, was pioneered by Germany German sociologist Georg Simmel at the end of the nineteenth century. One common rule that has been widely observed is that in any group of three people two will tend to unite against the other one. This makes triads a far less stable arrangement than dyads. Larger groups also tend to be more stable because of the greater variety of relationships that can form in them. This is true for many different groups of people from groups of three siblings to groups of coworkers. This rule makes triads a very unstable grouping that has a high likelihood of leading to conflict. Because of this, groups of three are often avoided. For instance university roommates are almost always put in groups of two, as a room with three is far more likely to lead to conflict and unhappiness. An important exception is when one of the members of the group is clearly dominant. Allegiance to a dominant can create a team mentality, both from the submissives to the dominant, the dominant to the submissives, and the submissives to one another. A store with three employees can function very well if one is clearly the boss. The other two may unite against the one, or one another for the boss favor, but since they are far weaker this will not have much effect. In other circumstances, the shared allegiance to the dominant allows them to have a stable relationship, tiered or no. In societies where polygamy is practiced, sexual relationships often follow these rules, dependent also on societal rules. The theory of triads among people has also been applied to countries by those studying international relations and many of the same basic principles ... terms Category Polyamory Category Sociology index de Triade Soziologie nl Triade sociale wetenschappen ... more details

Unreferenced date June 2007 In sociology , the word labelling is used more as a metaphor , than a concrete concept. The general function of labels are widely known and recognized as a method of distinction that helps people recognize one product from another. In social terms, labels represent a way of differentiating and identifying people that is considered by many as a form of prejudice and discrimination . The most common method of labeling people derives from a general way of perceiving members of a certain nationality , religion , ethnicity , gender, or some other group. When a majority of people hold a certain point of view towards a certain group, that point of view becomes a stereotype . That stereotype affects the way other people perceive the groups in question and the result is a label that is metaphorically imposed on the members of the group in question. A member of a targeted group is thus labeled by the larger society, and along with it, the nuances underlying the label, be it positive or negative, that aids in the formation of social stereotypes.
