About the Book

This Second Edition provides a comprehensive set of readings for both the beginning and advanced student of dialects, language variation, and sociolinguistics. With more than 80 percent new material, Handbook of Dialects and Language Variation, Second Edition takes into account recent work in theoretical linguistics and concerns with social uses. Despite these innovations, this book continues the First Edition's balance among regional and social dialects, language variation, and social change. Its contributors prove that the correlations of overt language manifestations with place and social class are both significant and revealing.
