THE SOCIAL MEANINGS OF LANGUAGE DIALECT AND ACC...

This volume represents a unique contribution to the area of language attitudes research with
its focus on how languages  dialects and accents induce us to form social judgments about
people who use these forms. The essays attend to evaluations of speech styles across nations.
No previous work has embraced this comparative perspective globally  but such a volume that
situates language and attitude research in the 21st century is long overdue. The content is
culturally diverse and showcases the work of eminent scholars across the globe. Each chapter
brings its own theoretical interpretation to this field of study  and the book provides the
reader with a plethora of models that extend our understanding of language attitudes. It is
fitting that Cindy Gallois  who has incisively contributed to research on language attitudes
over the past 30 years  provides an epilogue on the current state of language attitudes
research.
