This book covers most of the topics dealt with in courses described as either "sociolinguistics" or "the sociology of language". Planned as a basic introduction, it requires little previous knowledge of such foundation disciplines as linguistics, sociology, anthropology and psychology, since all the concepts needed for understanding are introduced in the text.

"Should become the standard text in advanced undergraduate courses and introductory graduate courses." Language (of a previous edition)
"Among the various introductions to sociolinguistics, this one certainly stands out in its comprehensiveness [it] offers a wealth of relevent and correct information." Sociolinguistica (of a previous edition)
Since it first appeared more than ten years ago, Ronald Wardhaugh′s Introduction to Sociolinguistics has been an immensely popular choice of textbook for courses in sociolinguistics and the sociology of language. This third edition retains the basic structure of the original, but incorporates a wealth of new material reflecting the progress of the field since the start of the 1990s.
In particular, the coverage of pidgins and creoles, code switching, sociolinguistic variation, language change, discourse analysis and of language and gender have been considerably revised and extended, with coverage of some 150 recent books or papers.
