OverviewThis book introduces an area that is growing in importance within sociolinguistics, illustrating and challenging the 'great divide' between speech and writing. It is organised around four main areas: socially oriented text analyses of written texts; modality inflected analyses of texts and practices; writing as identity and performance; and the analysis of literacy practices in relation to networks, access, participation and resources.

She challenges the status quo in sociolinguistics by clearly and succinctly arguing for the study of writing as a central focus in the field.
