Reviews

'Seminal scholars in the field synthesize and reflect on an impressive span of research questions, approaches, and illustrative data ... A very welcome resource for teachers and scholars in this field.' Rachel McKee, Victoria University of Wellington

Rachel McKee, Victoria University of Wellington '… the book is likely to whet students' appetite for more information about the sociolinguistics of Deaf communities, and the authors' outlining of important areas for future research provides a useful signposting of priorities for those who seek to become engaged in this field.' Bencie Woll, Journal of Sociolinguistics


Advance praise: 'Seminal scholars in the field synthesize and reflect on an impressive span of research questions, approaches, and illustrative data ... A very welcome resource for teachers and scholars in this field.' Rachel McKee, Victoria University of Wellington
