Recenzii

By embedding present-day concepts within the history of ideas, Rob Penhallurick has written the most comprehensive account to date of the evolution and current state of dialect study. Students will especially value his explanations of terminology, the diverse pictorial illustrations, the up-to-date coverage of internet initiatives and resources, and his chapter-related suggestions for further study.
Penhallurick's Studying Dialect provides a thorough history of dialect research. More than that, it involves the reader in a discussion of the issues and debates that have informed that history. Written accessibly for all audiences, the text is full of images, resources and suggestions for hands-on participation in dialect study. Penhallurick's book will fascinate readers who are already in the field, as well as engage its student readers. Because of the author's enthusiasm and thoughtfulness, this work will encourage readers to join the next generation of dialect research.
Here is the sweep of dialect study, from its beginnings in the promptings of philology to its practice in the age of sociolinguistics. In a work meticulously set out by a scholar especially qualified to interpret the breadth of the discipline, the reader has access to its cumulative components, every one of which is essential for a true understanding of the whole.
This ambitious book is a much welcome introduction to the study of dialects . [and] a valuable resource for linguistics students and teachers, who will surely benefit from its informativeness, clarity, abundant visuals and suggestions.
