Rezensionen
"...a useful introduction to some of the major theoretical tenets of the field...for undergraduates just beginning to wade into sociolinguistics who are looking for an accessible path towards some of the discipline's theoretical underpinnings. Making Waves provides an important and useful form of documentation for how sociolinguistics has grown so rapidly over the past five decades and where variationist sociolinguistics in particular seems to be heading in the years to come."
