Introduction to Sociolinguistics
(Institución Universitaria Colegio Mayor del Cauca, 2025-05-04) Jhonier Alexis García Álvarez
Sociolinguistics is the study of the relationship between language and society. It explores how language is used in different social contexts and how social factors influence the way people speak. Sociolinguistics helps us understand why we speak differently in different situations, how language reflects social structures, and how it can both unite and divide communities.
Simple sentences, phrases, independent and dependent clauses
(Institución Universitaria Colegio Mayor del Cauca, 2025-05-03) Jhonier Alexis García Álvarez
This presentation explores the foundational elements of English sentence structure, focusing on phrases, clauses, and sentence types. A phrase is a group of related words that function as a single part of speech but do not contain both a subject and a verb. In contrast, clauses are word groups that contain a subject and a verb. Clauses are categorized into independent clauses, which express a complete thought and can stand alone as simple sentences, and dependent clauses, which rely on independent clauses to convey full meaning. These elements form the basis of sentence construction and are essential for understanding more complex sentence structures in English grammar
