Sociology of Language

Sociology is a discipline in dialogue with other social sciences to understand and analyze, under the rules of the scientific method, societal organization, and social change. Organization and change occur both under specific conditions of social inequalities and in institutional frameworks. The book focuses upon the entire gamut of topics related to the social organization of language behavior, including not only language usage per se but also language attitudes and overt behaviors toward language and toward language users.
