  2. The Importance of Allusion and Symbolism in the Field of Socio-Linguistics In studying the language of social systems, Socio-Linguists must deal with “salience,” “Agenda,” “Intent,” “Allusion,” “Symbolism” and the “Collective Unconscious. “Salience” refers to the importance or significance of concepts in a social system. “Agenda” investigates how this significance affects behavior. “Intent” investigates how our behaviors are affected by our needs and desires.

  3. “Allusion” refers to those concepts in a social system that people refer to frequently. “Symbolism” results when the allusions become so important that they have can affect behavior in serious ways. Many important symbols can be found in religion and in politics. Flags, for example, relate to patriotism at the national level, and regionalism at the local level. The “confederacy” is an example of regionalism. So is the concept of “Texas.” “Collective Unconscious” is when a symbol is important enough to cross generations. It is a term coined by Carl Jung.
