Routledge Handbook of Sociolinguistics Around the World
This collection offers a survey of current and recent research trends in sociolinguistics around the world. Divided into sections covering: The Americas, Asia, Europe, CIS, North Africa and the Middle East, Central & Southern Africa and Australasia, each chapter has been authored by an internationally recognized scholar and surveys sociolinguistic work in that country or group of countries. While some chapters concentrate on traditional variationist sociolinguistics, others report on the areas of bi- and multilingualism together with diglossia and code-switching, language and culture, language and power, and language planning.
The Routledge Handbook of Sociolinguistics Around the World
Drawing on examples from a wide range of languages and social settings, The Routledge Handbook of Sociolinguistics Around the World was originally the first single-volume collection surveying the current research trends in international sociolinguistics. This new edition has been comprehensively updated and significantly expanded, and now includes more than 50 chapters written by leading authorities and a brand-new substantial introduction by John Edwards. Coverage has been expanded regionally and there is a critical focus on Indigenous languages. This handbook remains a key tool to help widen the perspective on sociolinguistics to readers interested in the field. Divided into sections covering the Americas, Asia, Australasia, Africa, and Europe, the book provides readers with a solid, up-to-date appreciation of the interdisciplinary nature of the field of sociolinguistics in each area. It clearly explains the patterns and systematicity that underlie language variation in use, along with the ways in which alternations between different language varieties mark personal style, social power, and national identity. The Routledge Handbook of Sociolinguistics Around the World is the ideal resource for all students in undergraduate sociolinguistics courses and for researchers involved in the study of language, society, and power.
