ISBN: 9780582060623 - an introduction to sociolinguistics (learning about language) (14 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: Good. This introductory book considers the question "What is sociolinguistics?", and explains sociolinguistic concepts through a wide range of examples. It draws from both 'classic' approaches to the subject as well as from more recent research, introducing terms like 'code-switching' and 'social dialect'.

The central section gives a comprehensive and well-illustrated exploration of social reasons for language change, exploring language change in monolingual communities and the features of a variety of dialects. The author shows how and why differing racial and social groups develop and maintain speech variations. In the final section, Janet Holmes assesses how attitudes to language affect speech and shows that linguistic responses depend upon a variety of contextual factors - for example, the status of the person being addressed and our reasons for speaking. Our attitudes to language have strong implications for our community. An Introduction to Sociolinguistics describes how language usage reflects the values of society, how society's view of women is reflected in language and how women are linguistically more polite than men.…

Zustand: Good. : Este libro introductorio examina la sociolingüística y explica conceptos a través de una amplia gama de ejemplos. Se basa tanto en enfoques 'clásicos' del tema como en investigaciones más recientes, introduciendo términos como 'cambio de código' y 'dialecto social'. Se divide en tres secciones: cómo se usa el lenguaje en comunidades multilingües, cómo y por qué los idiomas cambian dentro de la sociedad y los factores que conducen al desplazamiento de un idioma por otro, y a veces a la muerte de un idioma. También explora las razones sociales detrás de la variación del lenguaje y evalúa cómo las actitudes hacia el lenguaje afectan el habla y muestra que las respuestas lingüísticas dependen de una variedad de factores contextuales.
