Annotation

General outline of H's view of sociolinguistics centered around the assumptions that there is a mode of organization of language that is part of the organization of communicative conduct in a community, that therefore the study of language is a multidisciplinary field, and that these ideas lead one to reconsider the bases of linguistics itself.
