The SAGE Handbook of Sociolinguistics <http://www.uk.sagepub.com/booksProdDesc.nav?prodId=Book232327&> 
Ruth Wodak, Barbara Johnstone & Paul E Kerswill  

"A superb volume that weaves together the complex threads of sociological theory, linguistic analysis and practical application that characterise this important and influential field. The contributions offer a range and depth of coverage that is not found elsewhere. Highly recommended for all serious students of the social dimensions of language" - Ian Hutchby, Professor of Sociology, University of Leicester

"The best, the most complete and the most integrated handbook of sociolinguistics of the past decade. It is a collection well worth having, returning to again and again and constantly keeping within easy reach for frequent reference on the part of students and faculty alike" - Joshua A. Fishman, Emeritus Professor (Yeshiva University), NYU and Stanford University

"It is a tough challenge to do justice to such breadth and depth in one publication, but the editors have succeeded in compiling an impressive, structured collection of chapters covering a well-chosen range of key topics in sociolinguistics, and expertly written by leading sociolinguists. This will be an important and rewarding book for all those studying the social aspects of language" - Peter Garrett, Centre for Language and Communication Research, Cardiff University
