""Dialectology, the study of how and why language varies from place to place, comes brilliantly to life with this comprehensive, state-of-the-art Handbook. Grounded in history yet filled with cutting-edge methodology, research findings and personal insights from top researchers in the field, this book gives scholars and students the ideal reference manual for studying and understanding dialects in the 21st century."" Professor Sali Tagliamonte, University of Toronto, Canada ""It's all here - an enormously helpful and brilliantly well-planned volume, by the world's very top dialectology researcher. The Handbook has everything that needs to be known about regional variations in language, including the history of its study, its manifestations, its causes, and its consequences."" Professor Peter Trudgill, University of East Anglia, UK ""This timely volume comprises thirty six chapters written by leading exponents in the discipline, comprehensively covering in three excellent sections issues in theory, method and data. It is a fine resource for anyone working on language variation, language history, or for those who require access to bodies of language data: indispensable for researchers and students alike.""
