Reviews

The second edition of Dialects remains a useful and highly practical introduction to the study of dialects in the broadest sense of the term...a clear and entertaining introduction which would be an excellent set text for A level or first year undergraduate work, and could supplement more challenging reading at more advanced stages.<br>. <br>-Joan Beal, University of Sheffield, UK <br>
