Opis

Originally published in 1992. This provocative book calls for a critical analysis of the philosophical assumptions underpinning sociolinguistics. Going back to the roots of the study of language in society, it challenges the leading figures in the field and emphasises the sociological rather than the linguistic side of the subject.
