Language Variation as Social Practice - The Linguistic Construction of Identity in Belten High (Paperback, New Ed)

Based on two years of sociolinguistic and ethnographic fieldwork in one school, supplemented by shorter periods of fieldwork in three other schools, the study focuses on the polarized social categories, the "jocks" and the "burnouts," that dominate social organization in all of these schools. This book describes the social categories, networks, and practices that constitute the local adolescent social order, relates these to wider patterns in the urban-suburban area, and ultimately to wider societal patterns.

"Linguistic Variation as Social Practice" is an ideal text for advanced students of sociolinguistics and anthropological linguistics.
