Reviews

The book is a really impressive collection of key issues in todays sociolinguistics. It presents the most researched areas of the field in a comprehensive way and thereby reflects the rich diversity of dialects and varieties spoken across the Americas and Spain. It should certainly be compulsory reading for anyone interested in sociolinguistics. (ELanguage, 2011)<p>
