This book presents a description and analysis of sociolinguistics
written from a demographer's perspective. It synthesizes the data
on the materials, methods, and issues of this interdisciplinary
field, pulling together the scattered materials published in this
area into a coherent whole. Drawing on a wide range of sciences in
addition to demography and sociolinguistics, including sociology,
anthropology, statistics, psychology, neuroscience, and public
policy, the book treats theoretical and applied issues, links
methods and substantive findings, covers both national and
international materials, and provides prehistorical, historical,
and contemporary illustrations. The book treats the theoretical
issue of how the language we use develops socially on a base of
linguistic genetic capacity and the practical issue of how the
intervention of the state and public figures may profoundly alter
the natural evolution of the language. As such, this book will
appeal to a wide range of users, from students to teachers and
practitioners of social demography, sociolinguistics, cultural
anthropology, and particularly to those social scientists
interested in ethnic studies and human migration.
