Abstract:

Editor's Note: This is a new edition of a previously announced book.

The topic of awareness and control is an elephant in the room in
sociolinguistic research. To what extent are speakers aware of sociolinguistic
variables? Are there different types or levels of awareness? Is 'control' of
these variables a conscious or unconscious process, or is it some combination
of the two? Are the variables we are aware of necessarily those we control,
and vice versa? The extent to which speakers are aware of sociolinguistic
information and use it strategically may drastically affect our understanding
of the role that sociolinguistic cues play in the development of structural
categories. This volume constitutes the first concerted effort to understand
the nature of awareness and control using all the methodological and
theoretical tools at our disposal. The contributors employ a variety of
perspectives to address the relationship between awareness and control in
sociolinguistic research.
