The author examines theoretical aspects of studying social determination of socio-communicative systems and subsystems, considers sociolinguistic motivation as an important factor influencing the linguistic situation, language policy and language development. Scientific originality of the paper involves developping a research algorithm on the basis of the comprehensive approach to studying the linguistic situation. The research findings are as follows: relying on the analysis of the linguistic situation in Canada, the author suggests a step-by-step algorithm, which makes it possible to reveal peculiarities of the components interaction and to identify the basic tendencies of their development.
