Question:-

Answer:-

Language is not always utilised as for exchanging information as it is generally referred or assumed to, but rather it is often utilised for fulfilling essential social function in order to maintain social relationship between individuals. Users of the same language in a sense each and every individual speak in a different manner. The type of language each individual chooses to utilise is in a way determined by his or her social background. While talking people can not avoid giving listeners cllues about their original as well as their background. The social environment can also be reflected in languages, and can generally have an impact upon the structure of the vocabulary. For instance, societycs kinship system is generally reflected in its kinship vocabulary. As a social concept, language is very closely linked to the structure of society in which it is utilised, and the evaluation of a linguistic kind is entirely social. Another example, is that my family speaks American English where as our neighbors are using English used in Britain (Mittnik, Alissa, et al, 731-734)

An individual does not live along in society, from birth till death he or she is surrounded by a number of individuals. Some of these individuals are their  relatives, some are neighbors some are friends while all others are unknown or stranger to them. Individuals are bound to those individuals who are related to then either on the basis of marriage or blood. The relationships on the basis of marriage or blood may be distant or close. The bond of marriage or blood which binds individuals together in group is known as kinship. On the basis of distance or nearness relatives can be classified in various categories. Some relatives are very near, close and direct for instance father and son, husband and wife, sister and brother etc. There are basically eight such primary kind, husband-wife, father-son, mother-daughter, father-daughter, mother-son, younger-elder brothers, younger-elder sisters and sister brother (Gaby, Alice, 173-188).
