Abstract:

Exciting parallel developments have been made in sociolinguistics and
formal semantics, yet these two subfields have had very little contact
in the past. This pioneering book bridges this gap, bringing together
research and methodologies from both areas of study into a new
framework for studying the relation between language, ideologies and
the social world. It demonstrates how tools from semantics can be used
to formalize theories from sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology
and gender studies, and also shows how tools from epistemic game
theory can be used to bring those theories in closer line with
empirical studies of sociolinguistic variation and identity
construction through language. Engaging and accessible, it highlights
how a cross-pollination of ideas in sociolinguistics and semantics can
open up a completely new empirical domain of research. It is essential
reading for sociolinguists interested in meaning, and semanticists and
philosophers interested in language in its social context.
