"A treasure trove for sociolinguistic researchers and students alike.
Edited by three leading sociolinguists, the 39 chapters cover a wealth of valuable material... And the cast list reads like a veritable Who's Who of sociolinguistics, with a refreshing number of younger scholars included along with more familiar, well-established names...
This is a book that I will reach for often, both for research and teaching purposes.
I will recommend it to my postgraduate students, and many of the chapters will provide excellent material for discussion in our advanced undergraduate sociolinguistics course."- Janet Holmes, Discourse Studies"The best, the most complete and the most integrated handbook of sociolinguistics of the past decade."- Joshua A.
