More Description
In the course of the last 15 years, sociolinguistics (or the sociology of language) has established itself as an academic subject in many countries. The discipline promises to be of benefit in solving practical problems in such areas as language planning and standardization,language teaching and therapy, and language policy. Both research projects and publications and university teaching programmes in sociolinguistics now span such a wide field that it is hardly possible even for the experts to review the whole scope of the subject. A number of specialist periodicals and introductions and surveys of the subject exist, but to date there has been no comprehensive and internationally representative account of the subject. The Handbook provides this account.
Key Features:
- new completely revised and extended edition
- encyclopedia-like usability for readers
- international handbook series
- threevolumes offering the current state of sociolinguistics research
