Abstract

As language is a central element representing class divergence in society, implementing sociolinguistic analysis of literary works is significant. The linguistic features of literary works express the social class to which the characters belong, their lifestyle, and their positions. In the modern world, where financial imbalance and class-based segregation remain serious global problems, examining how these dynamics are represented and produced through language in literature has compulsory relevance. This juncture between language and society, particularly concerning power and social hierarchy, is the focal point of sociolinguistics as an integrative field. A sociolinguistic analysis of literary works creates awareness about authorial methods and techniques, such as the characters’ dialogue and social class accent.
