Abstract:

Please Note: This is a new edition of a previously announced text.

'A welcome introduction to sociolinguistics by a leading researcher in the 
field. Users will be inspired by the breadth and sweep of Meyerhoff's 
treatment.' - William Labov, University of Pennsylvania, USA

'Authoritative, yet open-minded, innovative yet touches all the bases that 
need to be touched. It embodies a passion for sociolinguistics that I hope 
many readers will embrace.' - David Britain, University of Essex, UK

'A great book ? easy to read and by far the most easily accessible 
introductory text for sociolinguistics.' - Nanna Haug Hilton, Centre for 
Language and Cognition, University of Groningen

This second edition of Miriam Meyerhoff's highly successful textbook is 
supported by the Routledge Sociolinguistics Reader and online resources 
common to both books. It provides a solid, up-to-date appreciation of the 
interdisciplinary nature of the field covering foundation issues, recent 
advances and current debates. It presents familiar or classic data in new 
ways, and supplements the familiar with fresh examples from a wide range of 
languages and social settings. It clearly explains the patterns and systems 
that underlie language variation in use, as well as the ways in which 
alternations between different language varieties index personal style, social 
power and national identity.

New features of the second edition:

* a wider range of approaches to politeness theory incorporating an 
international range of research

    * expanded sections on multi-lingualism and code-switching, social class, 
dialect contact and tracking change over time 

    * linkage to the new Routledge Sociolinguistics Reader which can be used 
alongside this textbook, allowing students to supplement and build on 
material covered in the textbook.

* a shared website serving both Reader and Textbook which includes web- 
and video-links, interactive exercises and an expanded online glossary at: 
www.routledge.com/textbooks/meyerhoff

* a refreshed text design to assist navigation through textbook and reader.

Each chapter includes exercises that enable readers to engage critically with 
the text, break-out boxes making connections between sociolinguistics and 
linguistic or social theory, and brief, lively add-ons guaranteed to make the 
book a memorable and enjoyable read. With a full glossary of terms and 
suggestions for further reading, this text gives students all the tools they 
need for an excellent command of sociolinguistics.
