Abstract

Hellinger and Ammon have compiled a volume of 21 papers that cover a broad range of sociolinguistic topics, with a primary focus on Western Europe. In their introduction, the editors consider approaches to sociolinguistics, grounding this volume in Hymes' original discussion of language as a social phenomenon. According to the editors, the authors of these papers “seek to relate findings to underlying social, cultural or political structures” (p. 4).
