This collection will be a survey of current and recent research trends in sociolinguistics around the world. Divided into sections covering: the Americas, Asia, Europe, CIS, North Africa and the Middle East, Central & Southern Africa and Australasia, each chapter will be authored by an internationally recognized scholar and survey sociolinguistic work in that country or group of countries. There will be a diversity of research reported in the various chapters. Some chapters will concentrate on traditional variationist sociolinguistics, whereas others will report on the areas of bi- and multilingualism together with diglossia and code-switching, language and culture, language and power, and language planning. Yet other research will be concerned with the study of conversation/discourse and areas subsumed under the heading of pragmatics or discourse studies. There will be a substantial editors' introduction, further reading in the chapters and a comprehensive index.
