"Comprehensively, the book provides a rich source of overviews of the field of sociolinguistics that will undoubtedly afford researchers and students in the area insightful knowledge evoking additional future dialogue and research." (<i>LINGUIST List</i>, December 2010)<br /> <br /> <p><b>Praise for Previous Editions</b></p> <p>“The standard text in advanced undergraduate and introductory graduate courses” (<i>Language</i>)</p> <p>“Among the various introductions to sociolinguistics, this one certainly stands out in its comprehensiveness… it offers a wealth of relevant and correct information” (<i>Sociolinguistica</i>)</p>
<b>Ronald Wardhaugh</b> is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Toronto. He is the author of a number of books, including <i>Proper English</i> (1998) and <i>Understanding English Grammar</i> (second edition, 2003), both published by Wiley-Blackwell.
Ronald Wardhaugh’s <i>An Introduction to Sociolinguistics</i> has been a cornerstone of courses in the field for over two decades, maintaining its popularity by combining clear and accessible coverage of a wide range of issues with useful student study features. This comprehensive sixth edition retains these strengths, but has also been updated throughout to reflect developments in the field. New chapter-by-chapter “explorations” sections have been added which encourage students to actively engage with tkey issues in sociolinguistics. <p>The sixth edition includes greater focus on ideas of identity, solidarity, and markedness, while the features that have made this work a classic – the balanced coverage of issues ranging from language dialects and variation, code-switching, bilingualism, and speech communities, to ethnographies, gender, and disadvantage – have been updated to reflect the latest research. Accessible and engaging, this is an ideal introduction for both undergraduates and graduate students with little or no background in sociolinguistics.</p>
"In this revised and updated edition of his classic text, Wardaugh brings us a smartly revitalized presentation, including up to the minute, current advances in sociolinguistics. While <i>An Introduction to Sociolinguistics</i> retains its comprehensive coverage and accessible style, it also presents students with a contemporary text that is sure to spark interest in the discipline."<br /> <b>–Alexandra D’Arcy</b>, University of Canterbury <p>"Wardhaugh has long provided teachers and introductory students with a clear yet challenging introductory textbook that is prized by all who value broad understanding of the full scope of sociolinguistic study. This latest edition once again ensures that readers are up-to-date in even the most rapidly advancing areas of research, including language and identity and language and gender. In addition, it offers enhanced reader engagement through the inclusion of thought-provoking questions and hands-on exercises generously distributed throughout each chapter. Wardhaugh has long been a staple in my introductory sociolinguistics classes, and the text is now even more indespensible than ever."<br /> <b>–Natalie Schilling-Estes</b>, Georgetown University</p>
