Semantics

The philosophical and scientific study of meaning.

Sometimes considered to be the same thing as semiotics, semology, or semasiology, which have overlapping meanings. This is a relatively new field of study, and several pioneers who largely worked independently of one another each felt the need to coin a new name for the new discipline, resulting in a variety of terms for the same subject.

The word semantics is widely preferred as the name for the doctrine of meaning, particularly linguistic meaning. Semiotics denotes the study of sign-using behaviour in general.

-- Based on britannica.com entry

Semiotics

The term Semiotics stems from the Greek word seemeiootikee--the study of signs, what they represent and signify, and how we act and think in their milieu.

Semiotics is the study of signs and signifying practices which influenced artistic writing of the 1980s and 1990s.

Sociolinguistics

Links pertaining to dialects should be submitted to Language_and_Linguistics/Dialectology/

All other links relating to the language and culture are welcome, including ethnography and language variation and change.
Sociolinguistics is the study of the relationship between linguistic behaviour and social situations, roles, and functions. Rather than concentrating on individuals, sociolinguistics is centered on the speech community; defined as any group of people who share some set of social conventions, or sociolinguistic norms, for language use. This relationship between language and society encompasses a wide variety of social situations--from international relations to interpersonal relationships.
