Ben Rampton produces detailed ethnographic and interactional analyses of spontaneous speech data, and integrates the discussion of particular incidents with theories of discourse, code-switching, social movements, resistance and ritual drawn from sociolinguistics, sociology, anthropology and cultural studies.
Now a Routledge Linguistics Classic with a new preface which sets the work in its current context, this book remains key reading for all those working in the areas of applied linguistics, sociolinguistics and linguistic anthropology.
Reviews / Votes
"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)
"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 2/1: 119)

"The importance of this book for sociolinguistics cannot be overestimated" (C. Kramsch, 1998, Review, Language and Education 12/1: 74)
