Abstract
Phonological variation (PV) in multilingual communities is being researched to find out how sociolinguistic factors (SF) impact language use and perception. Earlier studies on urban linguistic diversity often failed to consider the multifaceted relationship between age, gender, education, and socioeconomic status (SES) on PV. Statistics were compiled and analyzed utilizing multiple techniques on 3326 distinct Toronto people. The research conducted discovered that less elderly and more highly educated individuals tend to be more cognizant of linguistic diversity, impacting the PV experience. SES has an essential impact on the variances in language practice and code-switching between genders. The research topic highlights multilingual communication relationships and shows the significance of having to consider numerous SFs. Innovative ideas for linguistic and social science investigations from the current investigation enhance knowledge about PV’s impact on society.
