Observing and Analysing Natural Language by Lesley Milroy

Social networks -- those informal and formal social relationships of which any human society is composed -- are distinguished by their own patters of language use. Lesley Milroy is concerned with the manner in which patterns of linguisitic variation characterize particular groups (social and cultural, geographic, male and female) within a complex urban community.
"An impressive book by any standards, and is likely to take its place as a "classic" of sociolinguistics" R.A. Hudson, Journal of Linguistics (of the first edition)
Lesley Milroy is Senior Lecturer in Linguistics at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne.
