Takao Suzuki (鈴木 孝夫, Suzuki Takao, born 1926) is a Japanese sociolinguist, He is the author of ことばと文化, translated into English as Words in Context.

Suzuki argues that:

  • Sociolinguists do not pay enough attention to the subtle differences between word usage in different cultures.
  • Japanese linguists have traditionally been too occupied with Western linguistic categories, which are less than effective in studying Japanese.
