Summary Annotation <p>Have you ever noticed an accent or puzzled over a dialect phrase? Language can be a powerful tool with which one can create a persona; it can be a common ground between people or can be used as a divide between social groups. This <em>Companion</em>is for anyone who is interested in how and why people speak and write with such diversity.</p><p><em>The Routledge Companion to Sociolinguistics</em>includes articles by leading scholars in the field on:</p><ul><li>methods of observation and analysis</li><li>social correlates</li><li>socio-psychological factors</li><li>socio-political factors</li><li>language change.</li><p></p></ul><p>With a substantial A-Z glossary of key terms and concepts, directions for further study, and detailed cross-referencing with links to the glossary, <em>The Routledge Companion to Sociolinguistics</em>is both an essential broad-based introduction for those new to the field, and a highly useful reference for the more advanced linguist.</p>
