sociologySociology of language focuses on the language s effect on the society . It is closely related to the field of sociolinguistics , which focuses on the effect of the society on the language. A sociology of language would seek to understand the way that social dynamics are affected by individual and group language use. It would have to do with who is authorized to use what language, with whom and under what conditions. It would have to do with how an individual or group identity is established by the language that they have available for them to use. It would seek to understand individual expression, one s libidinal investment in the linguistic tools that one has access to in order to bring oneself to other people.

The element of legitimacy is vital to the notion of authority and is the main means by which authority is distinguished from the more general concept of power. Power can be exerted by the use of force or violence . Authority, by contrast, depends on the acceptance by subordinate s of the right of those above them to give them orders or directive s. ref Anthony Giddens, Sociology.

Unreferenced date June 2007 In sociology , the word labeling is used more as a metaphor , than a concrete concept. The general function of labels are widely known and recognized as a method of distinction that helps people recognize one product from another. In social terms, labels represent a way of differentiating and identifying people that is considered by many as a form of prejudice and discrimination . The most common method of labeling people derives from a general way of perceiving members of a certain nationality , religion , ethnicity , gender, or some other group. When a majority of people hold a certain point of view towards a certain group, that point of view becomes a stereotype . That stereotype affects the way other people perceive the groups in question and the result is a label that is metaphorically imposed on the members of the group in question. A member of a targeted group is thus labeled by the larger society, and along with it, the nuances underlying the label, be it positive or negative, that aids in the formation of social stereotypes.

In sociology , macrostructures , often simply called structure , correspond to the overall organization of society , described at a rather large scale level, featuring for instance social Groupsociology groups , organizations , institutions , nation states and their respective properties and relations. In this case, societal macrostructures are distinguished from societal microstructures consisting of the situated social interaction of social actors, often described in terms of human agency agency . This distinction in sociology has given rise to the well known macro micro debate, in which microsociologists claim the primacy of interaction as the constituents of societal structures, and macrosociologists the primacy of given social structure as a general constraint on interaction.

The College of Sociology Coll ge de Sociologie in French was a loosely knit group of French intellectual s, named after the informal discussion series that they organized. The College was founded in 1937 in Paris and continued operating until 1939, when it was disrupted by the war. Founding members include some of France s most well known intellectuals of the interwar period, including Georges Bataille , Roger Caillois , Pierre Klossowski , Jules Monnerot, Pierre Libra and Georges Ambrosino. Participants also included Walter Benjamin , Hans Mayer , ref Refugees in France by this time. ref Jean Paulhan , Jean Wahl , Michel Leiris , Alexandre Koj ve and Andr Masson . The members of the College were united in their dissatisfaction with surrealism . They believed that surrealism s focus on the unconscious privileged the individual over society, and obscured the social dimension of human experience. In contrast to this, the members of the College focused on Sacred Sociology, implying the study of all manifestations of social existence where the active presence of the sacred is clear. The group drew on work in anthropology and sociology which focused on the way that human communities engaged in collective rituals or acts of distribution such as potlatch . It was here, in moments of intense communal experience, rather than the individualistic dreams and reveries of surrealism, that the College of Sociology sought the essence of humanity. The group met for two years and lectured on many topics, including the structure of the army , the Marquis de Sade , English monarchy , literature , human sexuality sexuality , Hitler , and Hegel . This focus, and in particular their interest in indigenous cultures, was part of a wider trend towards primitivism of the time.

This is a term coined by Michael Burawoy as a way of providing solutions to social problems. Goals are usually defined by a client, which could be the government . Policy sociology provides instrumental knowledge, that is, knowledge that can be used to solve or help a specific case in the social world . According to Burawoy, the information gathered from policy sociology is open to an extra academic audience. It is not confined to academic boundaries. The findings of policy sociology research are likely to have an effect on the general public as they could have an impact on government policy.
