    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    This third edition of Miriam Meyerhoff?s highly successful textbook is supported by The Routledge Sociolinguistics Reader, Doing Sociolinguistics and online resources shared by all books. It provides a solid, up-to-date appreciation of the interdisciplinary nature of the field covering foundation issues, recent advances and current debates. It presents familiar or classic data in new ways, and supplements the familiar with fresh examples from a wide range of languages and social settings.

    • every chapter revised and updated with current research in the field, including material on sexuality, polylanguaging, and lifespan change;

    • additional Connections with theory and Facts: No really? throughout;

    • brand new companion website featuring more examples and exercises at www.routledge.com/textbooks/meyerhoff.


    Chapters include exercises that enable readers to engage critically with the text, break-out boxes making connections between sociolinguistics and linguistic or social theory, and brief, lively add-ons guaranteed to make the book a memorable and enjoyable read. With a full glossary of terms and suggestions for further reading, this text gives students all the tools they need for an excellent command of sociolinguistics.

    'Fizzing with examples from around the world and presenting cutting-edge theoretical wisdom, this book is an absolute must for all students of sociolinguistics.'
    David Britain, University of Bern, Switzerland



    'This book is my text of choice for undergraduate modules because it introduces all the fundamental aspects of sociolinguistics and LVC, also in multilingual contexts and with varieties other than English. The online resources are great and the students are particularly fond of the glossary with accessible definitions for complex subject matter.'
    Nanna Haug Hilton, University of Groningen, The Netherlands



    PRAISE FOR THE FIRST EDITION



    ?Here is a welcome introduction to sociolinguistics by a leading researcher in the field. Users will be inspired by the breadth and sweep of Meyerhoff?s treatment.?
    William Labov, University of Pennsylvania, USA


    ?Although the audience of this textbook . . . is primarily meant to be undergraduates, the exercises are so rich with stimulating ideas that students can develop these into theses . . . Another merit of the book is its coverage of the most recent advances in the field and their connections with theory.?
    Dinha T. Gorgis, Jadara University, Jordan


    ?I especially liked the way it includes studies from all over the world ? not just from English-speaking countries . . . the author presents complex studies in a very clear manner without simplifying too much.?
    Hanne Pernille Anderson, Copenhagen University, Denmark
