An outstanding resource for students and scholars of sociolinguistics at all levels. The introductory chapter on methods provides a great entrance into the field and the reader covers a generally excellent range of core readings in sociolinguistics. In addition the editors have integrated those readings with helpful exercises and discussion questions that will benefit students and instructors alike. Robin Queen, University of Michigan, USA The Routledge Sociolinguistics Reader stands out with its focus on practice. Students will love the hands-on nature of this Reader! Ingrid Piller, Macquarie University, Australia A very useful collection, due to the care in selection both in terms of quality and the wide range of approaches. I especially like the focus on multilingualism (more than a third of the articles report on languages other than English, for anyone keeping score), both in the choice of topics and in the attention given to the interests and needs of multilingual students. Naomi Nagy, University of Toronto, Canada This is the kind of interactive, varied course material that both students and teachers dream about. - Dr. Catharina Peersman, Department of Linguistics, K.U. Leuven, Belgium '... offers a true introductory manual of sociolinguistic studies to students and teachers alike... this is the kind of interactive, varied course material that both students and teachers dream about. There is no doubt about the excellent qualities of 'The Routledge Sociolinguistics Reader'. When combined with Meyerhoff's 'Introducing Sociolinguistics' and the online resources, this versatile manual is a very practical resource that would help create a varied and enjoyable sociolinguistics course.' - LinguistList 'Given the comprehensiveness of the text and the usefulness of the online resources, instructors will be well prepared to keep the sociolinguistic conversations going, both inside and outside of the university classroom.'- English World-Wide
