Produktbeschreibung

How can sociolinguistics help improve human well-being? What could make sociolinguistics more relevant outside academia? How can public engagement with sociolinguistic research be facilitated? Sociolinguistic Research: Application and Impact presents a range of contemporary sociolinguistic research projects which answer these questions. Spanning contexts including education, government, the justice system, the workplace, and museums, the chapters show sociolinguists achieving significant improvements in the real-world conditions of people's lives. They also offer critical reflections on the meaning of 'impact', as well as clear advice for others pursuing this ascendant priority.
