This book series<br>is aimed at sociolinguists and social historians who are keen to publish<br>studies on the social history of languages, the interaction of linguistic<br>practices and society, and the sociological significance of linguistic<br>variation with a historical dimension. The purpose of the series is to<br>provide empirically supported studies that will challenge and advance<br>current language historiographies, which often continue to present the<br>history of particular languages as necessarily leading to the creation of<br>a standard or prestige variety. Of particular interest are topics such as<br>the following: language myths and language ideology, historical<br>multilingualism and the formation of nation-states, the sociolinguistics<br>of minority and regional languages, the rise of urban vernaculars,<br>immigrants and their languages, the role of prescriptive grammarians, and<br>the social history of pidgins and creoles.<br><br></div><div>Book proposals from historians and linguists working on any language in<br>any period are welcome, in particular those that include a comparative<br>dimension as well as those with a strong empirical foundation. The<br>preferred language of publication is English. </div><div>All publications will be peer reviewed; the four series editors and twenty-five members of the<br>advisory board are all members of the Historical Sociolinguistics Network<br>(HiSoN) <<a href="http://www.hison.ac.uk/">http://www.hison.ac.uk</a>>.<br><br>Advisory Board<br>Anita Auer (Utrecht), Jack Chambers (Toronto), Steffan Davies (Bristol),<br>Ana Deumert (Cape Town), Jose del Valle (CUNY), Martin Durrell<br>(Manchester), Robert Evans (Oxford), Kristine Horner (Sheffield), Elin<br>Fredsted (Flensburg), Roisin Healy (Galway), Juan Hernandez-Campoy<br>(Murcia), Robert Howell (Wisconsin-Madison), Ernst Hakon Jahr<br>(Agder), Mari Jones (Cambridge), Andrew Linn (Sheffield), Anthony Lodge<br>(St Andrews), Nicola McLelland (Nottingham), Miriam Meyerhoff (Auckland),<br>Agnete Nesse (Bergen), Terttu Nevalainen (Helsinki), Gijsbert Rutten<br>(Leiden), Joachim Scharloth (Dresden), Peter Trudgill (Agder), Marijke van<br>der Wal (Leiden), Laura Wright (Cambridge)<br><br>Peter Lang <a href="http://www.peterlang.com/">www.peterlang.com</a><br>For more information, please contact Dr Laurel Plapp, Commissioning<br>Editor, Peter Lang Ltd, 52 St Giles, Oxford OX1 3LU, UK.
