She interviews a group of non-standard English speakers living in Reading, Berkshire. Her data provides a basis for a perceptive analysis of variation in contemporary English and of the nature and function of variation in general. She specifically focuses on morphological and syntactic variation, and thus also provides a valid description between standard English and a variety used by working-class speakers, which will interest not only linguists including sociolinguists and dialectologists, but many workers in education. Linguistic and social constraints on variation are established, and the analysis also demonstrates how speakers are able to exploit the resources of the language system to convey social meaning. The data Dr Cheshire has collected are in themselves an important contribution to the study of language in its social context, whilst the analysis has significant theoretical implications for diachronic and synchronic linguistics.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50697175925009,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":50697179529489,"sku":"NGR9780521117159","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52538211303697,"sku":"NLS9780521117159","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0521117151.jpg?v=1751293568"},{"product_id":"sociolinguistics-reader-book-jenny-cheshire-9780340699997","title":"The Sociolinguistics Reader","description":"The Sociolinguistics Reader presents a state-of-the-art account of the discipline in the closing years of the twentieth century.

Not only are some of the best-known languages of Europe represented here, but also some that have been less well-researched in the past.  The chapters address the syntax of Dutch, English, French, Finnish, Galician, German and Spanish. For these languages, and many others, it is the standard varieties on which the most extensive syntactic research has been carried out, with the result that very little is known about the syntax of their dialects or the spoken colloquial varieties.   The editors of this volume seek to redress the balance by taking a cross-linguistic perspective on the historical development of the standardised varieties. This allows them to identify some common characteristics of spoken language. It also helps the reader to understand the kinds of filtering processes that are involved in standardization, which result in the syntax of spoken colloquial language being different from the syntax of the standard varieties.  Taming the Vernacular: From Dialect to Written Standard Language is suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate students of Linguistics, particularly those taking courses in sociolinguistics, dialectology, and historical linguistics. The focus on a variety of languages also makes this text suitable for students studying courses which cover the linguistic aspects of European languages.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52151088873745,"sku":"NLS9780582298095","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53486912864529,"sku":"GOR014943118","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53488071737617,"sku":"GOR014944034","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780582298095.jpg?v=1757612152"},{"product_id":"sociolinguistics-reader-book-jenny-cheshire-9781138372818","title":"The Sociolinguistics Reader","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Sociolinguistics Reader presents a state-of-the-art account of the discipline in the closing years of the twentieth century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVolume 2: Gender and Discourse in the first section looks at patterns of language variation, examining how gender identities are accomplished through language, and the importance of gender in accounting for language behaviour.
