Abstract:

Bringing together a team of renowned international scholars, this volume
provides a wide-ranging collection of historical and state-of-the-art
perspectives on language regard, particularly in the context of language
variation and language change, and importantly, highlights the range of new
methodologies being used by linguists to explore and evaluate it. The
importance of language regard to the inquiry of language variation and change
in the field of sociolinguistics is increasingly being recognized, yet
misunderstandings about its nature and importance continue to exist. This
volume provides scholars and students of sociolinguistics, with the tools and
theory to pursue such inquiry. Contributions and research come from Europe,
North America, and Asia, and language varieties such as Spanish, Dutch,
Danish, and American Sign Language are discussed.
