Written by the world-renowned pioneer in the field of modern
sociolinguistics, this volume examines the cognitive and cultural
factors responsible for linguistic change, tracing the life history
of these developments, from triggering events to driving forces and
endpoints. * Explores the major insights obtained by combining
sociolinguistics with the results of dialect geography on a large
scale * Examines the cognitive and cultural influences responsible
for linguistic change * Demonstrates under what conditions dialects
diverge from one another * Establishes an essential distinction
between transmission within the community and diffusion across
communities * Completes Labov's seminal Principles of Linguistic
Change trilogy
