Rezensionen

Sociolinguistics: A Very Short Introduction (Very… von John Edwards

Introductory books are difficult. A lot of this uses subfield jargon to explain stuff that you'd already know if you knew the jargon. In addition several chapters seem much more focused on criticising the views of other academics rather than explaining charitably or putting forward an alternative perspective. This was particularly noticeable around language survival and revitalisation efforts - the author seemed very sniffy and dismissive about it.
