Niche Language – Introduction

Niche language is one of those things that can encompass just about every area of written and verbal communication, so I thought I’d choose a key set of areas to look and run with them.  Our key areas here are ‘niche language’, ‘unique language and tags’, and ‘sociolinguistics’.

Sociolinguistics is the hardest of the three to explain, so it’s getting a separate post, later, but basically, its the language of specific groups and discusses the influence of a set of people on language within that group.  Niche language is everything around that – wherever a change in language has sprung up, no matter what the reason.  Unique language falls in between both – sociolinguistics would explain the why, niche would explain the who, and the application – the unique language and tags themselves would just be a dissection of both.

Later in the week I’m going to post on our first niche language – the language of gratitude – so, I’m curious, what are you thankful for?  How do you express it, and how do those words make you feel?
