Crossing

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"The importance of this book for sociolinguistics cannot be overestimated."

C. Kramsch, 1998, Review, Language and Education

"Rampton's book Crossing put the sociolinguistic study of style, and of interethnic styling in particular, on a new footing. [...] The distinctiveness of Rampton's work lies in its ethnographic depth, theoretical openness and empirical specificity."

N. Coupland, 2007, Review, Style

"Ben Rampton has produced a very important study, not only on language and ethnicity among adolescents... but on a range of sociolinguistic topics."

J. Blommaert, 1998, Review, Journal of Sociolinguistics

"A research monograph which manages to be empirically thorough, methodologically rigorous, and of practical and theoretical interest."

M. Heller, 1997, Review, International Journal of Bilingualism Praise for Crossing, First Edition

"Published in 1995, Ben Rampton's book Crossing put the sociolinguistic study of style, and of interethnic styling in particular, on a new footing. His work shares many assumptions and priorities with the studies I have been reviewing in this chapte and it has been an important stimulus to many of them. [...] The distinctiveness of Rampton's work lies in its ethnographic depth, theoretical openness and empirical specificity" (N. Coupland, 2007, Review, Style 136-7)
