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.

MoreLong description:
Language in Society introduces the study of the relationship between language and society, also known as sociolinguistics, without assuming any prior knowledge of linguistics. Introducing the key concepts in an accessible way, Lee illustrates how language develops constantly as a response to society and must be understood in the context of societal norms, processes, and events. The book:
- Provides a short history of the field and explores the types of questions that can be asked in sociolinguistics as well as its methods
- Introduces essential concepts such as sociolinguistic variation, multilingualism, and contact languages
- Discusses contemporary topics including issues of language endangerment, language and justice, as well as language and computing
- Includes examples and case studies from the Asia Pacific and focuses on highlighting research from the Southern hemisphere
- Provides discussions of the future trajectory of the field and some reflection points on practical applications for each chapter
