The Contributions to the Sociology of Language series features
publications dealing with sociolinguistic theory, methods, findings
and applications. It addresses the study of language in society in
its broadest sense, as a truly international and interdisciplinary
field in which various approaches - theoretical and empirical -
supplement and complement each other. The series invites the
attention of scholars interested in language in society from a
broad range of disciplines - anthropology, education, history,
linguistics, political science, and sociology. To discuss your book
