ABSTRACT
The present study attempts to critically review the use and usage of language
in context to communication,
education and society. It is an interdisciplinary study that entirely focuses on the diverse influences of applied
linguistics, sociolinguistics,
anthropology, technology, communication studies,
cognitive and behavioural
psychology on language use. This study reviews the model of language as structural, functional or interactional
communication and relates it with the progressive multidisciplinary influences of language use. It also implies the
use of native and non-native varieties of English and its impact and contact with the vernacular languages of India.
This leads to the emergence of multilingualism and multiculturalism and its stronghold can be witnessed through the
interactional and functional use of communication. Further, it can be analyzed
that due to the impact of
communication technology, English language has been ushering with an ardent favor of massive linguistic change
and variation through social networking and media.
