Language Change Joan Bybee
University of New Mexico
This new introduction offers a guide to the types of change at all levels of linguistic structure, as well as the mechanisms behind each type. Based on data from a variety of methods and a huge array of language families, it examines patterns of change, and brings together recent findings. • This new introduction offers a guide to all aspects of language change, with an emphasis on the role of cognition and language use • Each chapter touches on a type of change and maps the directionality of that change so readers can grasp patterns more easily • Within historical linguistics, non-European languages are often overlooked; in this book, examples are given from both European and non-European languages
This book, written by someone who has been influential in shaping our understanding of phonological and grammatical processes, provides a new perspective on how the study of language change can be, and in my view should be, approached.” Bernd Heine, University of Cologne

It assumes no previous knowledge of phonetics; concepts are introduced gradually and frequent cross-referencing means that students will see how the subject fits together and how later concepts build on earlier ones. • A problem-based introduction to phonetics, with more than three hundred exercises integrated into the text to help the student discover and practice the subject interactively • Assumes no previous knowledge of phonetics and highlights and explains new terms and concepts when they are first introduced • Highlights the differences between speech and writing in Unit One
Engagingly written, this accessible introduction to articulatory phonetics tests the reader’s understanding at every stage with a structured series of questions and exercises. The 20 well-balanced units cover basic theory and the essentials of English phonetics, including intonation. Any student new to phonetics will find this a valuable learning aid.” Jill House, University College London

Sociolinguistics 2ND EDITION
Sociolinguistics The Study of Speakers’ Choices
Why do we speak the way we do? What social factors influence our choices of expression? This best-selling introduction to the study of language and society encourages students to ask how and why we select from the vast range of different words, accents, varieties and languages available to us.
To write a great introductory text you have to make a statement about fundamental issues. Here, the notion of choice bridges the gap between micro and macrosociolinguistics and brings both cohesion and edge to the book.”
• Enables students to refer to additional materials by including a list of useful online resources at the end of each chapter
Frans Gregersen, The Lanchart Centre, University of Copenhagen
• Questions for discussion help students to deepen their understanding of the chapter contents
“This is the book I’d [choose] to introduce students to the fast developing field of sociolinguistics, for it combines clear explanations with intriguing examples.”
Florian Coulmas
German Institute for Japanese Studies, Tokyo
• The common theme that connects all chapters (the choice of language or expression), helps facilitate the development of a theoretical understanding of the complex field of sociolinguistics
