This book challenges the predominance of mainstream sociolinguistic
theories by focusing on lesser known sociolinguistic systems, from
regions of Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, South America, the European
Mediterranean, and Slavic regions as well as specific speech
communities such as those speaking Nivkh, Jamaican Creole, North
Saami, and Central Yup'ik. In nineteen chapters, the specialist
authors look at key sociolinguistic aspects of each region or
speech community, such as gender, politeness strategies, speech
patterns and the effects of social hierarchy on language,
concentrating on the differences from mainstream models. The
volume, introduced by Miriam Meyerhoff, has been written by the
leading expert of each specific region or community and includes
contributions by Rajend Mesthrie, Marc Greenberg and Daming Xu.
This publication draws together connections across
regions/communities and considers how mainstream sociolinguistics
is incomplete or lacking. It reveals how lesser-known cultures can
play an important role in the building of theory in
sociolinguistics. Globalising Sociolinguistics is essential reading
for any researcher in sociolinguistics and language variation and
will be a key reference for advanced sociolinguistics courses.
