Recenzii

'Analysing Sociolinguistic Variation will be of most use to graduate students and advanced undergraduates who are already familiar with the ideas and goals of sociolinguistics, and who need to know how to conduct their own research, or participate in larger collaborative research projects. I am sure that the offices and labs of variationists everywhere will soon be identifiable by the presence of well-thumbed copies of this book.' Canadian Journal of Linguistics
