Abstract:

The city as a complex socio-cultural structure plays a central role,
economically, administratively as well as culturally. Factors such as higher
population density, a more expansive infrastructure, and larger social and
cultural diversity compared to rural areas have a substantial impact on urban
society and urban communication.

Focusing on the latter, the contributions to this volume discuss the
characteristics and dynamics of urban language use, considering aspects such
as contact, variation and change, as well as identity, indexicality, and
attitudes, but also spatial factors including mobility,
urbanisation/counterurbanisation, and diffusion processes.

The collected articles provide an update of ‘first wave’ approaches of
variationist sociolinguistics, but also establish a connection to ‘third wave’
research for readers from a broad range of fields, especially
sociolinguistics, variationist linguistics, and dialectology. The book
presents modern methodological and conceptual ideas and a wealth of new
findings but also serves as a reference work, combining theoretical
discussions with results from recent empirical studies.
