Drawing on examples from a wide range of languages and social
settings, The Routledge Handbook of Sociolinguistics Around the
World is the first single-volume collection surveying current and
recent research trends in international sociolinguistics. With over
thirty chapters written by leading authorities in the region
concerned, all continents and their respective regions are covered.
This book is an important tool to help widen the perspective on
sociolinguistics to readers of English.
Divided into sections covering: The Americas, Asia, Australasia,
Africa and the Middle East, and Europe, the book provides readers
with a solid, up-to-date appreciation of the interdisciplinary
nature of the field of sociolinguistics in each area. It clearly
explains the patterns and systematicity that underlie language
variation in use, as well as the ways in which alternations between
different language varieties mark personal style, social power and
national identity.
The Routledge Handbook of Sociolinguistics around the World is
the ideal resource for all students on undergraduate
sociolinguistics courses and researchers involved in the study of
language, society and power.
