SOCIAL LINGUISTIC ANALYSIS USING THE SOCIOLANG MODEL FOR PHILOLOGICAL STUDIES
Abstract
The conventional philological analysis has mostly taken the form of textual form
and historical transmission in neglecting the systematic social forces which motivate
language change. To address this gap in explaining the matter, in this study, the SocioLang
Model, a sociolinguistic-philological model, will be utilized which combines quantitative
linguistic measures, including lexical frequency and syntactic complexity, and sociological
factors, such as social hierarchy and institutional affiliation. The study based on statistical
generalization and qualitative explanation of linguistic variations through comparative
analysis of different corpora indicates that around 65 % of the perceived linguistic variations
have direct association with definable social conditions in contrast with isolated linguistic
developments. The results indicate that institutional or elite texts have more syntactic
regularity, and community-oriented text is quite flexible in form; moreover, modality and
narrative authority change are correlated with social power relations in more than 60% of the
texts sampled. Finally, the present research confirms the approach of the SocioLang Model
as a strict methodological supplement to classical philology and makes some quantifiable
correlations between the philological texts as the products of the social construction.
