THE ROUTLEDGE COMPANION TO SOCIOLINGUISTICS

This Companion to Sociolinguistics has been collected together for anyone who is interested in how and why diverse people speak and write differently: in other words, it is aimed at everyone. Anyone who has ever noticed an accent, or puzzled over a dialect phrase, or wondered why road signs are in several languages; anyone who adjusts their speech or writing in different situations, or cannot i…

A TEXT-BOOK OF SOCIOLOGY

THE entire field of sociology is so vast that every bibliography must for practical purposes confine itself to a definite area. The following list includes works that especially supplement the subject-matter of this book. The list is by no means complete, but it is hoped that the selection made will prove suggestive to librarians and useful to the student for purposes of reference. A few titles…

Adam Smith and Modern Sociology A Study in the Methodology of the Social Scie…

On the purely methodological side, this investigation was stimulated, if not ori…

New Directions in the Sociology of Aging
