Description
Critical Sociolinguistic Research Methods examines how language intersects with power, identity, and social inequality. Written by leading scholars Monica Heller, Sari Pietikäinen, and Joan Pujolar, this book offers a rigorous yet accessible approach to conducting sociolinguistic research that matters.
The authors guide readers through various methodologies designed to investigate pressing language issues including multilingualism, language policy, minority languages, and linguistic discrimination. Rather than presenting theory in isolation, the book emphasizes practical application and real-world research contexts. It equips graduate students and established researchers with the conceptual frameworks and technical skills needed to conduct ethical, meaningful sociolinguistic investigations that can influence policy and practice.
Published by Routledge, this essential resource bridges the gap between academic theory and applied research, making it invaluable for anyone seeking to understand how language shapes and reflects social realities.
