Linguapax
Free Articles from the Journal of Sociolinguistics
To mark the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the NWAV (New Ways of Analyzing Variation) conference, the Journal of Sociolinguistics has assembled a virtual issue that highlights a few key contributions to our understanding of sociolinguistic variation, all published in the Journal of Sociolinguistics starting with its first issue in 1997.
The collection points to a number of theoretical insights and analytic innovations, often first presented at NWAV and then disseminated through the Journal. These themes include the study of vernacular speech, standard language, change in real and apparent time, language ideology, ethnicity, gender, power, authenticity, globalization, bilingualism, acquisition of variation, social meaning, indexicality, perception, cognition, and the birth of new dialects.
