dc.description.abstractIt is a general fact that no two individuals speak the same way in the society because no two individuals have the same experience of language. The aim of this study is to examine the causes of differences in language use in the society and how it reflects social structure. Language use which correlates to social variables such as class, age, gender and setting in Felix Akinsipe’s The Dawn of Awareness was selected to prove that people signal aspect of their social identity through language use. Results reveal that the sociolinguistic background of speakers is reflected through their language use. The contribution of this work is that social is that it makes the society aware that social stratification affects language in reality.en_US
