How is our language influenced by ethnicity, gender, and region? How are our conversations structured, and how does society regulate language? In this revised second edition, the author explores these questions and more, delving into the intricate relationship between language and society. The text guides readers through key issues defining the field, such as region, status, gender, time, language attitudes, interaction, and style, while also addressing multilingualism, culture, ethnicity, language contact, and education. This edition features new exercises, discussion questions, and suggested readings, along with expanded chapters on gender duality and Latino English. The author's clear and engaging voice makes complex concepts accessible for those new to sociolinguistics. Chapter summaries and textboxes enhance understanding, while a companion website offers PowerPoint slides for each chapter, discussion suggestions, additional examples, and ready-to-go presentation materials. With the latest research and practical teaching aids, this updated edition retains the strengths of its predecessor, providing an essential resource for students and instructors alike.
