Routledge English Language Introductions cover core areas of language study and are one-stop resources for students.
Assuming no prior knowledge, books in the series offer an accessible overview of the subject, with activities, study questions, sample analyses, commentaries and key readings - all in the same volume. The innovative and flexible 'two-dimensional' structure is built around four sections - introduction, development, exploration and extension - which offer self-contained stages for study. Sociolinguistics:

provides a comprehensive introduction to sociolinguistics
draws on a range of real texts, from an interview with Madonna to the Japanese Asahi Evening News
uses real studies designed and conducted by students
provides key readings with commentaries from works by major internationally known authors such as Norman Fairclough, Deborah Cameron, Braj Kachru, Jennifer Coates, Mark Sebba, and Malcolm Coulthard
is accompanied by a supporting website.

Key features of the new edition:

new section on forensic linguistics
additional material on language and gender
conversation analysis and spoken discourse
comprehensively updated exercises, readings and references.

Industry Reviews

Praise for the first edition

'The book's greatest strength is its accessibility. Language and tables are extremely clear, and Stockwell's writing style is comfortable, conversational and nonthreatening ... [he] displays a sense of humour that helps move the learning process along.' - Journal of Multilingual & Multicutural Development
