The topic of awareness and control is an elephant in the room in
sociolinguistic research. To what extent are speakers aware of
sociolinguistic variables? Are there different types or levels of
awareness? Is 'control' of these variables a conscious or
unconscious process, or is it some combination of the two? Are the
variables we are aware of necessarily those we control, and vice
versa? The extent to which speakers are aware of sociolinguistic
information and use it strategically may drastically affect our
understanding of the role that sociolinguistic cues play in the
development of structural categories. This volume constitutes the
first concerted effort to understand the nature of awareness and
control using all the methodological and theoretical tools at our
disposal. The contributors employ a variety of perspectives to
address the relationship between awareness and control in
sociolinguistic research.
