Abstract:

Sociolinguistics and the social sciences more generally tend to take an
interest in norms as central to social life. The importance of norms is easily
discernible in the sociolinguistic canon, for instance in Labov’s definition
of the speech community as ‘participation in a set of shared norms’ and Hymes’
concepts of ‘norms of interaction’ and ‘norms of interpretation’. Yet, while
the notion of norms may play a central role in sociolinguistic theory, there
is little explicit theoretical work around the notion of norms itself within
the discipline. Instead, norms tend to be treated as conceptual primes –
convenient building blocks, ready-made for sociolinguistic theorizing – rather
than theoretical constructs in need of reflexive attention. The aim of this
book is to assess and advance current understandings of norms as a theoretical
construct and empirical object of research in the study of language in social
life. The contributors approach the topic from a range of complementary
disciplinary perspectives, including sociolinguistics, linguistic
anthropology, EM/CA, socio-cognitive linguistics and pragmatics, to provide a
multifaceted view of norms as a central concept in the study of language in
social life.
