The relationship to place and language has been central to linguistic research since the beginning. Several distinctive eras of investigation into place and language have taken place, from focusing on relatively nonmobile elderly speakers to deep investigations of how different speakers relate to a particular place. Place impacts language in a variety of ways, from large differences between national varieties to ecological and social distinctions in varieties associated with a small local area or neighborhood. Further, place interacts with other social factors and contributes to linguistic variation in an additive (or perhaps even multiplicative) fashion. As the investigation into the impact of place has developed and evolved, researchers have noted that it is not merely place itself that is the most important, rather the speaker's relationship to place that is perhaps the most crucial aspect. In fact, a speaker with a close connection to place might use features that are associated with a particular place even if those features are stigmatized, because those features represent the speaker's connection to place. Without consideration of how a speaker orients-whether toward or away-any investigation into place or regionality and language will be incomplete.

自语言学研究伊始，人与地方和语言的关系一直是其核心问题。对地方和语言的研究已经经历了几个不同的阶段，从关注相对不流动的老年说话者，到深入研究不同说话者与特定地方的关系。地方以多种方式影响语言，从国家变体之间的巨大差异，到与小的当地或社区相关的变体的生态和社会差异。此外，地方与其他社会因素相互作用，并以附加（或甚至倍增）的方式促成语言变异。随着对地方影响的研究不断发展和演变，研究人员指出，重要的不仅仅是地方本身，而是说话者与地方的关系，这也许是最重要的方面。事实上，与地方关系密切的说话者可能会使用与特定地方相关联的特征，即使这些特征带有污名化，因为这些特征代表了说话者与地方的联系。如果不考虑说话者的定位方式（朝向或远离），那么对地方或地区性和语言的任何研究都将是不完整的。本文归类于：语言学 ➡ 语言理论 心理学 ➡ 语言
