Linguistic styles particularly variations in pronunciation, carry a
wide range of meaning - from speakers' socio-economic class to
their mood or stance in the moment. This book examines the
development of the study of sociolinguistic variation, from early
demographic studies to a focus on the construction of social
meaning in stylistic practice. It traces the development of the
'Third Wave' approach to sociolinguistic variation, uncovering the
stylistic practices that underlie broad societal patterns of
change. Eckert charts the development of her thinking and of the
emergence of a theoretical community around the 'Third Wave'
approach to social meaning. Featuring brand new material alongside
earlier seminal work, it provides a coherent account of the social
meaning of linguistic variation.
