Language Demography

Language Demography explores the emergence and development of language demography and looks especially at the presentation of the linguistic concepts involved in demography and the demographic concepts involved in sociolinguistics. The first introductory guide of its kind, it is presented in a way that is accessible to non-specialists. The book includes numerous examples of the sources and types of data used in this field, as well as the various factors affecting language demography. Taking a global perspective supported by examples, it gives explanations of how demolinguistic analyses are performed and their main applications in relation to minority and majority languages.Language Demography will be of interest to students from a range of disciplinary backgrounds, from linguistics and modern languages to sociology, anthropology, and human geography.

Review "Variedades de la lengua española is a valuable resource for both Spanish instructors and students. More specifically, it would benefit those advanced undergraduate students who possess an interest in Hispanic sociolinguistics. ... [Variedades de la lengua española] has the potential to serve along side a primary text as a complementary resource in advanced university Spanish courses. The inclusion of Sugerenicas para investigar y debatir, that concludes each chapter, encourages students to think critically about each topic and go beyond the text to inquire into the particulars of each dialect. ... In sum, Moreno-Fernández achieves the goal of presenting a detailed, yet concisely and clearly written volume on language variation found across the Spanish-speaking world."Nicholas M. Blaker,Hispania (Sept. 2021), USA About the Author Francisco Moreno-Fernández es catedrático de Lengua Española en la Universidad de Alcalá (España) y Catedrático Humboldt en la Universidad de Heidelberg (Alemania).

A Framework for Cognitive Sociolinguistics attempts to lay out the epistemological system for a cognitive sociolinguistics―the first book to do so in the English language. The intention of this volume is not to provide a simple catalog of sociolinguistic principles or of theoretical postulates of a cognitive nature, but rather it aims to build a verifiable metatheoretical basis for cognitive sociolinguistics. This book is articulated through a series of propositions, accompanied by annotations and commentaries that develop, qualify and exemplify these propositions. As for the research questions that would be central to a cognitive sociolinguistic endeavor, the following incomplete catalog could be enumerated: What do speakers know about their language? What do they know about communicative interaction? What do speakers know about sociolinguistic variation? Where does that knowledge reside and how is it configured? How does social reality influence the origin and processing of language? How does language use affect the configuration, evolution and variation of language? What do speakers know about their socio-communicative context? How do speakers perceive sociolinguistic reality? What are speakers’ attitudes and beliefs regarding linguistic variation? How does sociolinguistic perception influence speakers’ communicative behavior at all levels? How does language contribute to the construction of identity? Offering a fresh perspective on the frequently taught and studied topic of cognitive linguistics, A Framework for Cognitive Sociolinguistics can easily be incorporated into existing courses in the areas of both cognitive and sociocultural linguistics.
