«The Sociolinguistics of Language» is the sociolinguistics handbook by Ralph W. Fasold, published by Wiley-Blackwell in paperback (356 pages, in English).
It analyzes how social interaction conditions language use and brings together facts from the everyday to the unusual. It asks why some West Indian workers seem rude to their customers, why men use more local dialects than women, and what clues pidgin languages offer about the innate faculty of language.
It is the second volume of Ralph W. Fasold's work begun with «The Sociolinguistics of Society»; it belongs to the Language in Society series (no. 6).
Aimed at university students and linguistics professionals, as well as readers interested in the relationship between language and society.
