‘Milroy and Gordon give us the first comprehensive survey of
research methods that takes in the breadth and scope of
sociolinguistics as it has come to maturity. They relate analytic
methods to research goals and always keep an eye on matters of
interpretation and evaluation that give meaning to quantitative and
statistical results. This book is a valuable resource not only for
students but also for experienced researchers.’ J. K.
Chambers, University of Toronto <!--end-->
‘Given the accelerating, visible growth of sociolinguistics, it is surprising that there are practically no books dedicated to methods. This is a welcome exception. But it is more than a discussion of techniques; it is firmly grounded in current sociolinguistic theory. The combination of an experienced fieldworker and analyst, and an up-and-coming scholar has resulted in one of the most useful texts in variation studies to be published in the last decade.’ Walt Wolfram, North Carolina State University
