Sociolinguistics 2e

Quotes and Reviews

'Meets the need for a new coherent and developmental introduction to the subject. Provides up-to-date material, practical exercises, new first hand data and relevant questions. The whole structure and approach is satisfying to read and rewarding to use.'

Clive Grey, Edge Hill College of Higher Education, UK

'This textbook is enormously enabling. Not only does it comprehensively provide the basic theory and method at the right level, but beginners have the means and the models so that they can get their hands dirty with real data and real problems in doing Sociolinguistics.'

William Downes, University of East Anglia

Praise for the first edition
'The book's greatest strength is its accessibility. Language and tables are extremely clear, and Stockwell's writing style is comfortable, conversational and nonthreatening ... [he] displays a sense of humour that helps move the learning process along.'
