Description

Many attempts have been made to use sociolinguistics to interpret historical linguistic change but the theory has rarely been applied consistently. This textbook allows students to develop a deeper understanding of both sociolinguistics and historical linguistics. It discusses both the central variationist tendencies present in language change and the macrosociolinguistic forces which act upon all speakers and their language.

Author Biography:

Robert McColl Millar is Senior Lecturer in linguistics at the University of Aberdeen. He has published widely on topics relating to the language use of northern Scotland, as well as on language change and the sociology of language.
