This book demonstrates the power and distinctiveness of the
contribution that sociolinguistics can make to our understanding of
everyday communicative practice under changing social conditions.
It builds on the approaches developed by Gumperz and Hymes in the
1970s and 80s, and it not only affirms their continuing relevance
in analyses of the micropolitics of everyday talk in urban
settings, but also argues for their value in emergent efforts to
chart the heavily securitised environments now developing around
us. Drawing on 10 years of collaborative work and ranging across
disciplinary, interdisciplinary and applied perspectives, the book
begins with guiding principles and methodology, shifts to
empirically driven arguments in urban sociolinguistics, and
concludes with studies of (in)securitised communication addressed
to challenges ahead.
