This third edition of Miriam Meyerhoff's highly successful textbook
provides a solid, up-to-date appreciation of the interdisciplinary
nature of the field and covers foundation issues, recent advances
and current debates. It presents familiar or classic data in new
ways, and supplements the familiar with fresh examples from a wide
range of languages and social settings. It clearly explains the
patterns and systems that underlie language variation in use, as
well as the ways in which alternations between different language
varieties index personal style, social power and national identity.
New features of the third edition: Every chapter has been revised
and updated with current research in the field, including material
on sexuality, polylanguaging and lifespan change; Additional
Connections with theory and Facts: No, really? are included
throughout; Data from sign languages, historical linguistics and
Asia-Pacific sociolinguistics have been revised and expanded; A
brand new companion website featuring more examples and exercises
can be found at www.routledge.com/textbooks/meyerhoff. Chapters
include exercises that enable readers to engage critically with the
text, break-out boxes making connections between sociolinguistics
and linguistic or social theory, and brief, lively add-ons
guaranteed to make the book a memorable and enjoyable read. With a
full glossary of terms and suggestions for further reading, this
text gives students all the tools they need for an excellent
command of sociolinguistics. It can also be used in conjunction
with The Routledge Sociolinguistics Reader, Doing Sociolinguistics
and the online resources shared by all three books.
