More complex explanations than "trauma" or "unease" are provided by linguists and sociolinguists. Dialect levelling is a linguistic phenomenon studied and observed by dialectologists and sociolinguists. It is problematic to integrationists that sociolinguists only focus upon what is said. Individuals who study sociolects are called sociolinguists. Sociolinguists study relations between language and social groups. Sociolinguists often note hypercorrection in terms of pronunciation (phonology). Sociolinguists define a sociolect by examining the social distribution of specific linguistic terms. However, sociolinguists tend to be more interested in variations in language within such communities. Many sociolinguists, however, object to the Markedness Model's postulation that language-choice is entirely rational.
