Sociolinguistics is the study of the effect of any and all aspects of society, including cultural norms, expectations, and the way language is used.

It studies how lects differ between groups separated by certain social variables, e.g., ethnicity, religion, status, gender, level of education, age, etc,. And how creation and adherence to these rules is used to categorize individuals in social class or socio-economic classes.

Sociolinguists also study the grammar, phonetics, vocabulary, and other aspects of this sociolect much as dialectologists would study the same for a regional dialect.
