Both a companion to Introducing Sociolinguistics, Miriam
Meyerhoff's bestselling textbook, and a stand-alone Reader in
sociolinguistics, this collection includes classic foundational
readings and more recent innovative articles.
Intended to be highly user-friendly, The Routledge
Sociolinguistics Reader includes substantial section introductions,
further reading, a reader's guide on how to use the book and an
introductory chapter providing advice on how to undertake
qualitative and quantitative research. This introduction is
supplemented by exercises focussing on data handling and
collection.
The Reader is divided into six sections and each section is
thematically organised. Each reading is accessible to beginning
students of sociolinguistics but the entire selection is assembled
to also help advanced students focus on themes, principles and
concepts that cut across different researchers' work. Beginning and
advanced students are supported by Content Questions to assist
understanding of essential features in the readings, and Concept
Questions which help advanced students make connections across
readings, apply theory to data, and critically engage with the
readings. A companion website supports and connects the Reader and
textbook with structured exercises, links to associated websites
and video examples, plus an online glossary.
The Routledge Sociolinguistics Reader is essential reading for
students on courses in sociolinguistics, language and society, and
language and variation.
