Abstract:

This alphabetic guide introduces popular terms used in the study of
language and society. Clearly written by a leading authority in the
field, this glossary provides full coverage of both traditional and
contemporary terminology, including the relatively new areas within
sociolinguistics of sign language, gay language, and cross-cultural
communication.

"A landmark event. It signifies the dramatic growth of
sociolinguistics over the past several years and the level of interest
it now attracts....No one is in a better position to write a glossary
of the field, and no one can match Trudgill's lucid, readable
style."--Walt Wolfram, North Carolina State University
