An Introduction to Sociolinguistics Bewertungen

This excellent and accessible textbook is tried and tested. I have used it for undergraduate courses in Europe and Asia for more than 20 years with great success. The 6th edition discusses even more languages and countries, and each chapter includes a methodology section which will help students engage in sociolinguistic research.

Hans Ladegaard, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, China

For those (students or laypersons) fascinated in the role, functions, forms, and uses of language - and policies relating to them - in our (and others') social worlds, then this is the introduction for you. It is uniquely reader-friendly with global examples of a myriad of concepts central to sociolinguistics, aligned with intriguing exercises (and their answers) that ensure complete understanding and mastery.

Howie Giles, University of California, USA, and University of Queensland, Australia
