Paperback. This engaging textbook provides a unique introduction to language and society, by showing students how to tap into the linguistic resources of their communities. Assuming no prior experience of linguistics, it begins with chapters on introductory methods and ethics, creating a foundation for students to think of themselves as linguists. It then offers students the sociolinguistics tools they need to look both locally and globally at language and the social issues with which it interacts. The book is illustrated throughout with examples from 98 distinct languages, enabling students to connect their local experiences with global ones, and each chapter ends with classroom and community-focused exercises, to help them discover the underlying rules that shape language use in their own lives. Students will gain a greater appreciation for, and understanding of, the linguistically diverse and culturally complex sociolinguistic issues around the world, and how language interacts with multiple domains of society. This textbook provides students with the tools they need to explore how language interacts with multiple domains of society. By showing them how to tap into the linguistic resources of their own community, it equips them with a greater understanding of the complexities of language and social issues around the world. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
