This is a collection of papers written by Trudgill (linguistics, U. of Fribourg, Switzerland) during the past decade and previously published in various books and journals; some have been substantially revised for the present volume. The focus is on linguistically-motivated sociolinguistics, as opposed to social-scientific sociolinguistics. Coverage includes historical and sociolinguistic connections between some of the different varieties of English spoken around the world; an examination of dialect change, based on the linguistic varieties of East Anglia; various aspects of language contact, including pidginization, creolization, and linguistic gender; language creation, language death, and respect for variety in language; the role of English in the world, and the nature of Standard English or Englishes.
