"Classic and ground-breaking -- highly influential in the development of sociolinguistics" Peter Trudgill

"It's hardly possible to claim to know anything about the field of sociolinguistics without having read the articles in that collection. A number of them are classics in the field, by any standards." Ralph W. Fasold
