Reviews
"An outstanding resource for students and scholars of sociolinguistics at all levels. The introductory chapter on methods provides a great entrance into the field and the reader covers a generally excellent range of core readings in sociolinguistics. In addition the editors have integrated those readings with helpful exercises and discussion questions that will benefit students and instructors alike." Robin Queen, University of Michigan, USA "The Routledge Sociolinguistics Readerstands out with its focus on practice. Students will love the hands-on nature of this Reader!" Ingrid Piller, Macquarie University, Australia "A very useful collection, due to the care in selection both in terms of quality and the wide range of approaches. I especially like the focus on multilingualism (more than a third of the articles report on languages other than English, for anyone keeping score), both in the choice of topics and in the attention given to the interests and needs of multilingual students."
