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.
