• examines the suprasegmental, segmental, and subsegmental units that sociophoneticians study;
• reveals the ways that sociophoneticians create knowledge and solve problems across a range of theoretical and practical applications;
• explores sociophonetic traditions around the world in spoken and signed languages;
• includes case studies that demonstrate sociophonetic research in action, which will support and inspire readers to conduct their own projects.
This handbook is an indispensable resource for researchers, undergraduate and graduate students in sociophonetics, as well as researchers and students in sociolinguistics, phonetics, phonology, language variation and change, cognitive linguistics, psycholinguistics, speech pathology, and language teaching—and indeed any area of study where phonetics and phonology interact with social factors and forces.
Christopher Strelluf is an associate professor of linguistics at the University of Warwick. His research interests include sociophonetics, language variation and change, and dialectology.
