To what extent can sociolinguistics represent an epistemological rupture in the scientific study of language?
What do you think? This is your course of study, and the assignment is intended to test your understanding and ability to marshal and express an argument.

You first have to consider the "size" of the "rupture". Do you know how to evalute the size of a rupture? If you can't under take this evaluation, I have to assume that you'll be at a very deadend!
exactly, it's all about the size of the repture, that's what i wanted to check.
for example, biolinguistics would not consider sociolinguistics as a science

american descriptivists came with the term 'epistemological break or discovery procedures
