The Politics of Language Purism by Bjrn Jernudd

CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE SOCIOLOGY OF LANGUAGE brings to students, researchers and practitioners in all of the social and language-related sciences carefully selected book-length publications dealing with sociolinguistic theory, methods, findings and applications. It approaches the study of language in society in its broadest sense, as a truly international and interdisciplinary field in which various approaches, theoretical and empirical, supplement and complement each other. The series invites the attention of linguists, language teachers of all interests, sociologists, political scientists, anthropologists, historians etc. to the development of the sociology of language.

Michael Shapiro, the editor, has published widely in the fields of linguistics, poetics, and semiotics. In the application of Peirce's theory of signs to language, his two Sense volumes - The Sense of Grammar and The Sense of Change - have been dubbed instant classics.
