Paperback. Studies of variation of language have by and large been restricted to the level of expression. This work offers a critique of sociolinguistic, arguing that since meaning is critical to all contexts of life in society, ignoring it has led to a number of serious problems, foremost among them a mis-conception of the nature of sociolinguistics itself. Editor(s): Hasan, Ruqaiya. Series: Collected Works of Ruqaiya Hasan S. Num Pages: 352 pages, black & white line drawings, black & white tables, figures. BIC Classification: CFB.
