Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "La sociolinguistique a été développée depuis les années 1970 dans la communauté de chercheurs francophones comme une approche alternative à la linguistique pour étudier les phénomènes linguistiques. Certaines questions en relèvent de façon centrale : le plurilinguisme et les variations linguistiques, les contacts de langues, les normes, les usages sociaux, les discriminations, l'enseignement des langues, les innovations linguistiques... Elle constitue aujourd'hui un élément très dynamique de recherche et de formation dans les Sciences Humaines et Sociales. Ses spécialistes ont développé ses méthodes et ses concepts et travaillé son positionnement épistémologique. Elle est caractérisée entre autres par des recherches dites de terrain et une forte attention à la demande sociale dès lors que les langues - leurs pratiques, leurs représentations, leurs effets sur les pratiques sociales de tous ordres et réciproquement - sont impliquées. Cet ouvrage d'initiation à la sociolinguistique prend pour appui et illustration l'étude de la diffusion et des pratiques du français dans le monde."--P. [4] of cover.
Download or read book Language in Society written by Suzanne Romaine and published by . This book was released on 2000-10-05 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why have 1500 separate languages developed in the Pacific region? Why do Danes understand Norwegians better than Norwegians understand Danish? Is Ebonics a language or a dialect? Linguistics tends to ignore the relationship between languages and the societies in which they are spoken, while sociology generally overlooks the role of language in the constitution of society. In this book Suzanne Romaine provides a clear, lively, and accessible introduction to the field of sociolinguistics and emphasizes the constant interaction between society and language. She shows how our linguistic choices are motivated by social factors, and how certain ways of speaking come to be vested with symbolic value, drawing from evidence from studies of cultures and languages all over the world. This new edition incorporates new material on current issues in the study of gender as well as other topics such as the linguistic dimension to the ethnic conflict in the Balkans, and the controversy over Ebonics in the United States.

Download or read book Sociolinguistics Soziolinguistik Volume 1 written by Ulrich Ammon and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2020-04-06 with total page 888 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the publication of the first edition of the handbook Sociolinguistics/Soziolinguistik , the then young discipline has changed and developed considerably. The field has left behind its status as an interdiscipline between sociology and linguistics and is now a worldwide established field. Sociolinguistics continues to contribute to solving practical problems in areas such as language planning and standardization, language policy, as well as in language didactics and speech therapy. Moreover, new topics and areas of application have arisen from the autonomy of the discipline - these have been systematically and extensively included in the second edition of the handbook. The new overall concept depicts the regional and disciplinary representativity of sociolinguistic research while offering an encyclopedia-like useablitiy for all its readers. This includes theoretical depth and stringency for readers interested in theory, as well as methodical abundance and detail for empirical researchers. The descriptions of methods are so informative and precise that they can directly be used in the preparation of project planning. Similarly, the descriptions in the practice-oriented articles are so precise that users can accurately assess to what extent they can expect a certain sociolinguistic approach to help solve their problems. With an extensive description as its goal, the second edition of the handbook Sociolinguistics/Soziolinguistik takes into account the current standing of the discipline and the modified structure of the field.
