AB - The purpose of this article is to examine the origins of the field of sociolinguistics by providing an overview of previous studies and a description of the current state of the field. Numerous studies have focused on investigating the origins of sociolinguistics and have attempted to trace the history back to the earliest time possible. However, if the necessary conditions for the formation of a full-fledged discipline are regarded (i.e., appearance of appellation, delineation of sub-fields, rapid increase in quantity of research, emergence of professional organizations and conferences, specialized academic journals, institutionalization in higher education, etc.), the beginnings of sociolinguistics can be regarded as the 1960s. As important as the history of the field is the underlying motivation. Sociolinguistics possessed, from the beginning, two main motivations: scientific motivation and practical motivation. Thus, only a discussion of origins combined with motivations can provide a holistic review of sociolinguistics as an academic field of study.
