Reviews / Votes
An excellent introduction ... Throughout its seven chapters, the author's voice rings out in a very distinctive and encouraging tone, simultaneously lending great authority to the content of the book and providing encouragement to the reader (in particular the student reader) that experimental approaches to sociolinguistic research are tractable, dynamic, enjoyable, intellectually rewarding, and full of exciting possibilities for future development. * Journal of Sociolinguistics *More details
