Description and Table of Contents
Description
Contrary to the traditional focus on standard languages and written forms, this book highlights speech variations, dialects, semantics and the relationship between language and society in a wide sociolinguistic framework. The 11 contributions present empirical research on a range of topics from many countries including Malta, Germany, the Channel Islands, United Kingdom and the United States.
