Micro linguistics focuses on the study of the elements within a language system such as phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics. Macro linguistics, on the other hand, deals with the broader aspects of language including language change, language variation, language acquisition, and the relationship between language and society.

It is not that easy to describe the differences between micro- and macro-sociolinguistics in a nut-shell. However, in a simplistic term micro-sociolinguistics explores the ways in which society influences a speaker's idiolect - meaning the specific language of a person - and how people communicate with one another in line with different social variables/factors. On the other hand, macro-sociolinguitics focuses more on society as a whole, in relation to language. So with micro-sociolinguisticsthe emphasis is on language; with macro-sociolinguitics the emphasis is on society!
