How does a researcher move from an interest in Sociolinguistics to Discourse Analysis and to topics which are normally considered within the realm of Social Psychology? Are these disciplines really distinct and separate? In this presentation I would like to discuss my research first starting on an important topic in Sociolinguistics - Language Maintenance and Language Shift and the resulting focus on attitudes to heritage languages (attitudes are subsumed under Social Psychology). In observing language choices it was inevitable that discourse and politeness norms of the communities studied came under the scrutiny of the researcher. The interdisciplinary character of research between Sociolinguistics, Discourse Analysis and Social Psychology are closely interwoven and the aim of this presentation is to provide examples of studies undertaken to demonstrate the space shared. The effect of knowledge gained from these disciplines can contribute to one becoming a more creative, innovative and effective language teacher.
