About the Author

Ralph Fasold is Associate Professor of Linguistics at Georgetown University, Washington DC. He is Advisory Editor to the Blackwell series Language in Society.

From the Back Cover

A companion to the author's Sociolinguistics of Society, this textbook, examines the influence of social interaction in language use and discusses a variety of facts about language from the commonplace to the exotic.

Questions not normally asked about everyday phenomena are raised and little known facts about language use in social contexts are explored. For example, how does one decide when it is appropriate to address someone by their first name? Why do West Indians in service occupations sometimes seem rude to their customers? Why do men in Western Societies use more local dialect forms and lower status speech forms than do women? Can it be that the often despised languages called pidgin offer important clues to the inborn human capacity for language? There are just a few of the fascinating questions explored in this lively and informative textbook.

Condition: Como nuevo. : Este libro, complemento de 'Sociolingüística de la Sociedad' del autor, examina la influencia de la interacción social en el uso del lenguaje y analiza una variedad de hechos sobre el lenguaje desde lo común hasta lo exótico. Se plantean preguntas que normalmente no se hacen sobre los fenómenos cotidianos y se exploran hechos poco conocidos sobre el uso del lenguaje en contextos sociales. Por ejemplo, ¿cómo se decide cuándo es apropiado dirigirse a alguien por su nombre de pila? ¿Por qué los antillanos que trabajan en el sector servicios a veces parecen groseros con sus clientes? ¿Por qué los hombres de las sociedades occidentales utilizan más formas dialectales locales y formas de habla de estatus inferior que las mujeres? ¿Puede ser que las lenguas a menudo despreciadas llamadas pidgin ofrezcan pistas importantes sobre la capacidad humana innata para el lenguaje? EAN: 9780631138259 Tipo: Libros Categoría: Otros Título: The Sociolinguistics of Language Autor: Ralph W. Fasold Editorial: Wiley-Blackwell Idioma: en Páginas: 356 Formato: tapa blanda.
