The style of writing is perfect for the intended audience (beginning undergraduates) in that it presents complex arguments in an accessible and engaging manner, drawing on interesting and varide examples, There is much to recommend about this text. It is a well-written introduction to the field that I would encourage all of my first year undergraduates to read, and would recommend as summer pre-reading for uninitiated Masters student taking courses in linguistics which have a sociolinguistic component. A key strength of the book is the way it puts English within its wider historical and global context. --Julia Snell (King's College London) Journal of Liguistics, Volume 47 (2011)
