Sociolinguistics is the study of how language is used in social contexts, including the speech markers used by different ethnic groups who speak the same language. Semantics is the study of the meanings of words and sentences, semiotics is the study of signs and symbols, and synthesis is the combination of parts to make a whole. None of these fields specifically address the study of speech markers used by different ethnic groups within the same language community.
