Description

In this third edition of the bestselling classic textbook, Martin Montgomery explores the key connections between language and social life. Guiding the student through discussions on child language, accent and dialect, social class and gender, as well as a number of other topics, Montgomery provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the function of language in modern society. This third edition includes: new sections on dialect levelling and estuary English; hip-hop and rapping as anti-language and ‘crossing’ between Creole, Panjabi and South Asian English new material on the Gulf War and the 'War on Terror' discussions on language in internet usage and new technologies updated examples and references. With detailed suggestions for further reading and practical work for each chapter, An Introduction to Language and Society is the ideal resource for students and teachers of Communication Studies and Language Studies. Review "This is an excellent, comprehensive examination of the field of language and society...The writing is clear and concise; understandable for a novice student and without unnecessary technical words. In addition, with the recently updated information and examples in this edition (specifically hip-hop and rap language, and material on the language of the 'war on terror') this could very well provide new information to more advanced students. The author provides a fair and balanced examination of many issues in the field of sociolinguistics." -- Linguist List, June 2009 '... this book is very engaging, with fascinating in-depth examples.' - The Journal of Language and Society 'Compulsive reading for both students and language-enthusiasts alike.' - Language International About the Author Martin Montgomery is director of the Programme on Literary Linguistics at the University of Strathclyde where he is also a member of the John Logie Baird Centre for film and television.
