Main Text:  

This theme issue marks fifty years since the publication of William Labov's
Social Stratification of English in New York City, the foundation study of
variationist sociolinguistics. The issue touches on several strands of Labov's
contribution to sociolinguistics: language change, linguistic evaluation,
methodological innovation, African American English, language and the
individual, and language style. We conclude with a reflection on Labov's
commitment to the study of language in society.

This issue will be freely available through November 2016.
