Product description

Review

'To write a great introductory text you have to make a statement about fundamental issues. Here, the notion of choice bridges the gap between micro and macrosociolinguistics and brings both cohesion and edge to the book.' Frans Gregersen, The Lanchart Centre, University of Copenhagen

'This is the book I'd [choose] to introduce students to the fast developing field of sociolinguistics, for it combines clear explanations with intriguing examples.' Bernard Spolsky, Professor Emeritus, Bar-Ilan University

'A highly original synthesis of decades of sociolinguistics research, and an agenda setter, around the key notion of 'choice', for many years to come.' Li Wei, Birkbeck, University of London

'… a well-written compendium, providing readers with a concise, yet elaborate description of sociolinguistic research … The topics addressed are broad and wide-sweeping, showing the diversity of sociolinguistic research while at the same time making each arena seem accessible to the novice researcher. It was a pleasant read, informative, and extremely useful. … an excellent book.' Brad Miller, Journal of Sociolinguistics

Book Description

This new and updated textbook gives students a coherent view of the complex interaction of language and society.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good introductory sociolinguistics text
Reviewed in the United States on 11 August 2017
Verified Purchase
I am not a sociolinguist and I'm honestly more interested in analytical linguistics. However, the introductory sociolinguistics class that I was required to take used this book, and I found it to be a good text for the course. Coulmas uses a wide variety of examples and published results from sociolinguistic studies to explain many aspects of how language intersects society. It's not something I'd go out of my way to read, but I appreciated it for what it is.
