Social groups are a pervasive feature of human life. One factor that is often understudied in the literature on person perception and social categorization is language. Yet, someone's language (and accent) provides a tremendous amount of social information to a listener. Disciplines across the social and behavioral sciences—ranging from linguistics to anthropology to economics—have exposed the social significance of language. Less social psychological research has historically focused on language as a vehicle for social grouping. Yet, new approaches in psychology are reversing this trend. This article first reviews evidence, primarily from psycholinguistics, documenting how speech provides social information. Next it turns to developmental psychology, showing how young humans begin to see others’ language as conveying social group information. It then explores how the tendency to see language as a social cue has vast implications for people's psychological processes (e.g., psychological essentialism and trust) and also for society, including education and the law.

语言作为社交线索

社会群体是人类生活的普遍特征。在关于人的感知和社会分类的文献中经常未被充分研究的一个因素是语言。然而,某人的语言(和口音)为听众提供了大量的社交信息。跨越社会和行为科学的学科——从语言学到人类学再到经济学——都暴露了语言的社会意义。历史上,较少的社会心理学研究将语言作为社会分组的工具。然而,心理学中的新方法正在扭转这一趋势。本文首先回顾了主要来自心理语言学的证据,这些证据记录了言语如何提供社会信息。接下来转向发展心理学,展示年轻人如何开始将他人的语言视为传达社会群体信息。
