Thoroughly updated and revised, An Introduction to
Sociolinguistics, 7th Edition presents a comprehensive and
fully updated introduction to the study of the relationship between
language and society.
Building on Ronald Wardhaugh’s classic text, co-author
Janet Fuller has updated this seventh edition throughout with new
discussions exploring language and communities, language and
interaction, and sociolinguistic variation, as well as
incorporating numerous new exercises and research ideas for
today’s students. Taking account of new research from the
field, the book explores exciting new perspectives drawn from
linguistic anthropology, and includes new chapters on pragmatics,
discourse analysis, and sociolinguistics and education. With an
emphasis on using examples from languages and cultures around the
world, chapters address topics including social and regional
dialects, multilingualism, discourse and pragmatics, variation,
language in education, and language policy and planning.
A new companion website including a wealth of additional online
material, as well as a glossary and a variety of new exercises and
examples, helps further illuminate the ideas presented in the text.
An Introduction to Sociolinguistics, 7th Edition continues
to be the most indispensable and accessible introduction to the
field of sociolinguistics for students in applied and theoretical
linguistics, education, and anthropology.
