From Los Angeles to Tokyo, Urban Sociolinguistics is a
sociolinguistic study of twelve urban settings around the world.
Building on William Labov's famous New York Study, the authors
demonstrate how language use in these areas is changing based on
belief systems, behavioural norms, day-to-day rituals and
linguistic practices. All chapters are written by key figures in
sociolinguistics and presents the personal stories of individuals
using linguistic means to go about their daily communications, in
diverse sociolinguistic systems such as: extremely large urban
conurbations like Cairo, Tokyo, and Mexico City smaller settings
like Paris and Sydney less urbanised places such as the Western
Netherlands Randstad area and Kohima in India. Providing new
perspectives on crucial themes such as language choice and language
contact, code-switching and mixing, language and identity, language
policy and planning and social networks, this is key reading for
students and researchers in the areas of multilingualism and
super-diversity within sociolinguistics, applied linguistics and
urban studies.
