Abstract:
The paper reviews the research conducted on debates regarding language correctness extensively. The objective of the article is to provide a conceptual theoretical framework based on the 'correctness fallacy' and to determine where 'language correctness' matters or not from sociolinguistic point of view. The article investigates the perspectives of the 'correctness fallacy', 'linguistic segregation', 'political correctness' and 'grammatical correctness'. The study uses data from research articles, journals, and books in a qualitative method to draw a primary conclusion of 'language correctness'. The findings tried to answer the conclusion that a language can ever be 'correct' or that it matters.
