Featuring contributions from an international team of leading and
up-and-coming scholars, this innovative volume provides a
comprehensive sociolinguistic picture of current spoken British
English based on the Spoken BNC2014, a brand new corpus of British
speech. The book begins with short introductions highlighting the
state-of-the-art in three major areas of corpus-based
sociolinguistics, while the remaining chapters feature rigorous
analysis of the research outcomes of the project grounded in Spoken
BNC2014 data samples, highlighting English used in everyday
situations in the UK, with brief summaries reflecting on the
sociolinguistic implications of this research included at the end
of each chapter. This unique and robust dataset allows this team of
researchers the unique opportunity to focus on speaker
characteristics such as gender, age, dialect and socio-economic
status, to examine a range of sociolinguistic dimensions, including
grammar, pragmatics, and discourse, and to reflect on the major
changes that have occurred in British society since the last corpus
was compiled in the 1990s. This dynamic new contribution to the
burgeoning field of corpus-based sociolinguistics is key reading
for students and scholars in sociolinguistics, corpus linguistics,
pragmatics, grammar, and British English.
