Thanks tdol,Well, I could not find what I exactly need but still I will check agian and again. However, can we consider the level of education and the age as social differences? The other thing is that I wanted some Audio files! Will this be possible? I have three books already about language and social class...Thanks again.....Lolo

Education is a factor in social difference- as most professions require higher education for entry, there is a direct link between education and social position. I'm less sure about age- there are older people of all soical groups, though those dependent on state pensions in the UK are becoming increasingly poor.
