Abstract:

The dimensions of time and space fundamentally cause and shape the
variability of all human language. To reduce investigation of this insight
to manageable proportions, researchers have traditionally concentrated on
the "deepest" dialects. But it is increasingly apparent that, although most
people still speak with a distinct regional coloring, the new mobility of
speakers in recently industrialized and postindustrial societies and the
efflorescence of communication technologies cannot be ignored. This has
given rise to a reconsideration of the relationship between geographical
place and cultural space, and the fundamental link between language and a
spatially bounded territory.

Language and Space: An International Handbook of Linguistic Variation seeks
to take full account of these developments in a comprehensive,
theoretically rich way. The introductory volume examines the concept of
space and linguistic approaches to it, the structure and dynamics of
language spaces, and relevant research methods. A second volume offers the
first thorough exploration of the interplay between linguistic
investigation and cartography, and subsequent volumes uniformly document
the state of research into the spatial dimension of particular language
groupings.

Key features:

* comprehensive coverage of the field in terms of theory and methods
* the unique volume stands alone, since it neither is a handbook of
dialectology or of areal linguistics, nor a handbook on language variation
alone
* gathers together a great number of distinguished scholars and experts in
the field

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as 
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These 
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return 
(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact 
your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match 
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your 
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the 
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple 
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company 
operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
