Review ".....the decision to commission 28 articles by leading specialists and to have them combined in this anthology makes excellent sense.""The book is excellently edited and printed. It provides up-to-date information on most subdisciplines of sociolinguistics."Manfred Gorlach, Universitat zu Koln "It.....presents fresh insights into many subjects, and the papers that are true review articles provide comprehensive bibliogrphic materials for further research."".....this collection offers much of interest and a breadth that makes it a useful resource."Sharon Ash, University of Pennsylvania From the Back Cover In 28 newly-commissioned chapters, distinguished contributors provide an up-to-date overview of sociolinguistics. This invaluable work of reference, now available in paperback, identifies the most important issues of sociolinguistics, makes primary sources more accessible, and provides orientation for future research. Reflecting the main division within the discipline, the two key sections deal with the social dimensions of language and the linguistic dimensions of society. In addition, there is an introductory section taking issue with the theoretical and methodological foundations of sociolinguistic knowledge which have proved to be especially fruitful in recent years: education, bilingual education, the legal profession and language planning. The Handbook is equipped with a comprehensive bibliography which can be used as a research tool in its own right. See all Product description
