Reviews

The book's six chapters complement each other well in terms of their focal points and represent a welcome integration of quantitative and qualitative analyses of variation, discourse and interaction. The findings offer a range of insights with relevance for sociolinguistic theory. - JANNIS ANDROUTSOPOULOS, Institut fur Germanistik, Universitat Hamburg
