Abstract:

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

The new eighth edition of "An Introduction to Sociolinguistics" brings this
valuable, bestselling textbook up to date with the latest in sociolinguistic
research and pedagogy, providing a broad overview of the study of language in
social context with accessible coverage of major concepts, theories, methods,
issues, and debates within the field. This leading text helps students develop
a critical perspective on language in society as they explore the complex
connections between societal norms and language use. The eighth edition
contains new and updated coverage of such topics as the societal aspects of
African American Vernacular English (AAVE), multilingual societies and
discourse, gender and sexuality, ideologies and language attitudes, and the
social meanings of linguistic forms.

Organized in four sections, this text first covers traditional language issues
such as the distinction between languages and dialects, identification of
regional and social variation within languages, and the role of context in
language use and interpretation. Subsequent chapters cover approaches to
research in sociolinguistics—variationist sociolinguistics, ethnography, and
discourse analytic research—and address both macro– and micro-sociolinguistic
aspects of multilingualism in national, transnational, global, and digital
contexts. The concluding section of the text looks at language in relation to
gender and sexuality, education, and language planning and policy issues.
Featuring examples from a variety of languages and cultures that illustrate
topics such as social and regional dialects, multilingualism, and the
linguistic construction of identity, this text provides perspectives on both
new and foundational research in sociolinguistics and linguistic anthropology.

"An Introduction to Sociolinguistics, Eighth Edition", remains the ideal
textbook for upper-level undergraduate and graduate course in
sociolinguistics, language and society, linguistic anthropology, applied and
theoretical linguistics, and education. The new edition has also been updated
to support classroom application with a range of effective pedagogical tools,
including end-of-chapter written exercises and an instructor website, as well
as materials to support further learning such as reading suggestions, research
ideas, and an updated companion student website containing a searchable
glossary, a review guide, additional exercises and examples, and links to
online resources.
