Abstract
Our aim is to present a sociopragmatic framework for phonological behavior and to comprehend phonology as part of a social action (in the sense of Schütz). This approach enables us to connect sociology, psychology, phonology and phonetics. Phonological variation is no longer seen as a secondary parameter, but can be analyzed as an integral part of language behavior. First we present Natural Phonology, then results of our investigations: phonological and phonetic variation due to psychological parameters on the one hand, steps of analysis in predominantly sociophonological work on the other hand.Keywords
