 Preface

When I was asked to work on the seventh edition of An Introduction to Sociolin-

guistics I jumped at the chance, having often used the textbook myself and knowing
it was something I would be proud to have my name on. As I worked on the project,
my respect for Ronald Wardhaugh only grew; the depth and breadth of his knowl-
edge provides the basis for these chapters. While I am responsible for the content
of this textbook, this project was only possible because I had as a starting point such
excellent material.
The changes I have made are both thematic and organizational. Throughout the
text, I have sought to incorporate research which reflects contemporary social theo-
ries, in particular social constructionist and critical approaches, as applied to the
study of language in society. Further, I have sought to position sociolinguists as
potential actors and activists, not objective observers who necessarily remain outside
of the worlds they study; this perspective culminates in the final section, which has
been titled ‘Sociolinguistics and Social Justice.’
In terms of chapter layout, some re-arrangement of the materials will be apparent
to those who have used the textbook in the past. The first section contains chapters
on the same topics, although with some different titles to the sixth edition. The
second section has been updated, but retains its focus on variationist sociolinguis-
tics. The section now titled ‘Language and Interaction’ contains chapters on ethnog-
raphy, pragmatics, and discourse analysis. The final section on social justice continues
to include chapters on language and gender (and sexuality) and language policy and
planning, but also a chapter focusing on language and education in sociolinguistic
research.
Finally, the seventh edition of An Introduction to Sociolinguistics also has an
accompanying website, where students can find a review guide, vocabulary lists, and
links to related websites for each chapter. There are also materials for instructors,
including discussion topics and guides to the explorations and exercises that are
provided in the textbook.
May your introduction to sociolinguistics be the beginning of new interests and
insights!
Janet M. Fuller
 Acknowledgments

I would like to thank several friends and colleagues for taking the time to consult
with me on topics in their expertise during the writing of this book – Matthew
Gordon, on variationist sociolinguistics; Michael Aceto, on pidgin and creole lin-
guistics; and Heike Wiese, on Kiezdeutsch ‘neighborhood German.’ Their support
was much appreciated.
I am further indebted to Southern University of Illinois, and especially the
Department of Anthropology, for granting me the sabbatical during which I did
most of the work on this book, and to the John F. Kennedy Institute at the Freie
Universität Berlin, and especially Director Irwin Collier, for support while on my
sabbatical in 2013–2014.
This project could not have been carried out without the valuable feedback on
this revision from Ronald Wardhaugh, and the help with content, formatting, and
other logistics from the staff at Wiley-Blackwell. Their support and assistance was
much appreciated.
Finally, as always I am grateful to my children for inspiration: Arlette, who has
always helped me question everything I thought I knew, and Nicholas, who pro-
vided me with encouragement, explanations of pop culture, and tech support
throughout this project.

D. JOHN OF AUSTRIA'S PLACE OF BURIAL

Escorial and surrounding country, present day

The illness gained ground rapidly; each day, even each hour,
produced some new, strange and painful symptom. At times he was
seized with fainting fits, in which he appeared to have drawn his last
breath, at others with delirium of wild things and of war, in which he
always imagined himself commanding in a battle, and from which he
was only drawn by the names of Jesus and Mary, which Fathers
Orantes and Fernández invoked in his hearing. On the 30th D. John
felt so weak that he again desired to receive the Viaticum, and
charged Fr. Francisco de Orantes to give him extreme unction in
time, whenever he judged that the moment had come. At nightfall
that day the confessor thought that the time had arrived, and
administered the last Sacrament to him, which D. John received with
great devotion and perfect consciousness, in the presence of all the
Field-Marshals and other personages who were crowded into the
narrow precincts.
No one slept that night in fort or camp, and continually
messengers went to and fro, bearers of sad news. At dawn Father
Juan Fernández said mass at the bedside, thinking D. John
unconscious, as his eyes were already closed; but being told by the
confessor that the Host was being raised, he quickly took off his cap
and did reverence. At nine o'clock he seemed somewhat to revive,
and then he was taken with a fresh delirium, in which, with
extraordinary strength, he began to get angry with the soldiers,
commanding in a battle, giving orders to the battalions, calling the
captains by name, sending horses flying, reproving them at times
because they allowed themselves to be cut off by the enemy, calling
others to victory with eyes, hands and voice, always clamouring for

Á
the Marqués de Santa Cruz, whom he called "D. Álvaro, my friend,"
his guide, master, and his right hand.
"Jesus! Jesus! Mary!" implored the confessor. "Jesus! Jesus!
Mary!" at last repeated D. John of Austria, and, repeating these holy
names, became gradually calmer, until he sank into a profound
lethargy, forerunner, doubtless, of death, with his eyes shut, his
body inert, with the Crucifix of the Moors on his breast, where P.
Juan Fernández had placed it, the only sign of life being his difficult,
uneven breathing.
They all knelt, believing that the supreme moment had come, and
the two priests began to recite by turns the prayers for the dying.
Suddenly, about eleven o'clock, D. John gave a great sigh, and they
heard him distinctly articulate in a weak but clear, sweet, plaintive
voice, like a child calling to its mother, "Aunt! Aunt! My lady Aunt!"
And this was all. For two hours the lethargy lasted, and at half-
past one, without effort, trouble, or any violence, he gasped twice,
and the soul of "That John sent by God" fled to His bosom to render
account of the mission which had been confided to him.

Had he really fulfilled it? Was the mission of D. John of Austria to

drown in the waters of Lepanto the great power of the Turk, threat
to the faith of Christ and to the liberty of Europe, or did the mission
also extend to conquering the kingdom of England, and bringing
back that great people to the fold of the Catholic Church, as Christ's
two Vicars Pius V and Gregory XIII wished and thought?
If it were so, D. John of Austria can well liquidate his debt before
the Divine Tribunal, giving for only answer those words of Christ to
St. Theresa, which so alarmingly show the fearful reach of human
free will: "Theresa! I wished it, but men did not wish it."

Eusebio Nieremberg, in his life of the P. Juan Fernández, relates this strange
circumstance relative to D. John of Austria:
"A few days later (after D. John's death) he appeared to the father,
who was at one of the colleges, and said, 'Father Juan Fernández, why
 have you forgotten friends?' 'I have not forgotten, my lord, but what
have I got to do?' Then he told him that he must help him with his
suffrages and do certain things. The servant of God did all he asked with
much celerity and earnestness, saying masses and prayers and doing
penances for him, and making others do the same. At the end of a few
days he appeared again, shining and glorious, saying that he was in
heaven and was very grateful for the good works they had done for him."

Don John was buried first in the Cathedral at Namur, but the following spring his
body (except his intestines) was conveyed to Spain by orders of Philip II and
buried with much pomp in the Escorial. The story of the body being cut in pieces
at the joints and placed in three leather bags on the pack saddle of a horse for the
journey, is too well known not to be mentioned here. Sir William Stirling Maxwell
says that it was to avoid "expense and the troublesome questions which were in
those days likely to arise between the clergy and magistracy of the towns through
which a royal corpse was publicly carried." (Translator.)

The End.
 A Page From
THE WORKS OF ANATOLE FRANCE
 THE WORKS OF
ANATOLE FRANCE

It has long been a reproach to England that only one volume by

ANATOLE FRANCE has been adequately rendered into English; yet
outside this country he shares with TOLSTOI the distinction of being
the greatest and most daring student of humanity living.
¶ There have been many difficulties to encounter in completing
arrangements for a uniform edition, though perhaps the chief barrier
to publication here has been the fact that his writings are not for
babes—but for men and the mothers of men. Indeed, some of his
Eastern romances are written with biblical candour. "I have sought
truth strenuously," he tells us, "I have met her boldly. I have never
turned from her even when she wore an unexpected aspect." Still, it
is believed that the day has come for giving English versions of all
his imaginative works, as well as of his monumental study JOAN OF
ARC, which is undoubtedly the most discussed book in the world of
letters to-day.
¶ Mr. John Lane has pleasure in announcing that the following
volumes are either already published or are passing through the
press.
THE RED LILY

LIFE AND LETTERS (4 vols.)

JOAN OF ARC (2 vols.)

 ¶ All the books will be published at 6/- each with the exception of
JOAN OF ARC, which will be 25/- net the two volumes, with eight
Illustrations.
¶ The format of the volumes leaves little to be desired. The size is
Demy 8vo (9 × 5-3/4), and they are printed from Caslon type upon
a paper light in weight and strong of texture, with a cover design in
crimson and gold, a gilt top, end-papers from designs by Aubrey
Beardsley and initials by Henry Ospovat. In short, these are volumes
for the bibliophile as well as the lover of fiction, and form perhaps
the cheapest library edition of copyright novels ever published, for
the price is only that of an ordinary novel.
¶ The translation of these books has been entrusted to such
competent French scholars as MR. ALFRED ALLINSON, MR. FREDERIC
CHAPMAN, MR. ROBERT B. DOUGLAS, MR. A. W. EVANS, MRS. FARLEY, MR. LAFCADIO
HEARN, MRS. W. S. JACKSON, MRS. JOHN LANE, MRS. NEWMARCH, MR. C. E. ROCHE,
MISS WINIFRED STEPHENS, AND MISS M. P. WILLCOCKS.
¶ As Anatole Thibault, dit Anatole France, is to most English
readers merely a name, it will be well to state that he was born in
1844 in the picturesque and inspiring surroundings of an old
bookshop on the Quai Voltaire, Paris, kept by his father, Monsieur
Thibault, an authority on eighteenth-century history, from whom the
boy caught the passion for the principles of the Revolution, while
from his mother he was learning to love the ascetic ideals chronicled
in the Lives of the Saints. He was schooled with the lovers of old
books, missals and manuscript; he matriculated on the Quais with
the old Jewish dealers of curios and objets d'art; he graduated in the
great university of life and experience. It will be recognised that all
his work is permeated by his youthful impressions; he is, in fact, a
virtuoso at large.
¶ He has written about thirty volumes of fiction. His first novel was
JOCASTA & THE FAMISHED CAT (1879). THE CRIME OF SYLVESTRE
BONNARD appeared in 1881, and had the distinction of being
crowned by the French Academy, into which he was received in
1896.
 ¶ His work is illuminated with style, scholarship, and psychology;
but its outstanding features are the lambent wit, the gay mockery,
the genial irony with which he touches every subject he treats. But
the wit is never malicious, the mockery never derisive, the irony
never barbed. To quote from his own GARDEN OF EPICURUS: "Irony
and Pity are both of good counsel; the first with her smiles makes
life agreeable, the other sanctifies it to us with her tears. The Irony I
invoke is no cruel deity. She mocks neither love nor beauty. She is
gentle and kindly disposed. Her mirth disarms anger and it is she
teaches us to laugh at rogues and fools whom but for her we might
be so weak as to hate."
¶ Often he shows how divine humanity triumphs over mere
asceticism, and with entire reverence; indeed, he might be described
as an ascetic overflowing with humanity, just as he has been termed
a "pagan, but a pagan constantly haunted by the pre-occupation of
Christ." He is in turn—like his own Choulette in THE RED LILY—
saintly and Rabelaisian, yet without incongruity. At all times he is the
unrelenting foe of superstition and hypocrisy. Of himself he once
modestly said: "You will find in my writings perfect sincerity (lying
demands a talent I do not possess), much indulgence, and some
natural affection for the beautiful and good."
¶ The mere extent of an author's popularity is perhaps a poor
argument, yet it is significant that two books by this author are in
their HUNDRED AND TENTH THOUSAND, and numbers of them well
into their SEVENTIETH THOUSAND, whilst the one which a
Frenchman recently described as "Monsieur France's most arid book"
is in its FIFTY-EIGHTH-THOUSAND.
¶ Inasmuch as M. FRANCE'S ONLY contribution to an English
periodical appeared in THE YELLOW BOOK, vol. v., April 1895,
together with the first important English appreciation of his work
from the pen of the Hon. Maurice Baring, it is peculiarly appropriate
that the English edition of his works should be issued from the
Bodley Head.

This interesting contribution to Nelson literature is drawn from the journals and
correspondence of the Rev. Edmund Nelson. Rector of Burnham Thorpe and his
youngest daughter, the father and sister of Lord Nelson. The Rector was evidently
a man of broad views and sympathies, for we find him maintaining friendly
relations with his son and daughter-in-law after their separation. What is even
more strange, he felt perfectly at liberty to go direct from the house of Mrs.
Horatio Nelson in Norfolk to that of Sir. William and Lady Hamilton in London,
where his son was staying. This book shows how completely and without reserve
the family received Lady Hamilton.
A QUEEN OF SHREDS AND PATCHES:

Among the many queens of France, queens by right of marriage with the
reigning sovereign, queens of beauty or of intrigue, the name of Sophie Dawes,
the daughter of humble fisherfolk in the Isle of Wight, better known as "the
notorious Mme. de Feucheres," "The Queen of Chantilly" and "The Montespan de
Saint Leu" in the land which she chose as a suitable sphere in which to exercise
her talents for money-making and for getting on in the world, stand forth as a
proof of what a women's will can accomplish when that will is accompanied with
an uncommon share of intelligence.
MARGARET OF FRANCE DUCHESS OF SAVOY. 1523-1574.
A Biography with Photogravure Frontispiece and 16 other
Illustrations and Facsimile Reproductions of Hitherto Unpublished
Letters.
Demy 8vo. (9 × 5-3/4 inches.) 12s. 6d. net.
A time when the Italians are celebrating the Jubilee of the Italian Kingdom is
perhaps no unfitting moment in which to glance back over the annals of that royal
House of Savoy which has rendered Italian unity possible. Margaret of France may
without exaggeration be counted among the builders of modern Italy. She married
Emanuel Philibert, the founder of Savoyard greatness: and from the day of her
marriage until the day of her death she laboured to advance the interests of her
adopted land.
MADAME DE BRINVILLIERS AND HER TIMES. 1630-1676.
By Hugh Stokes. With a Photogravure Frontispiece and 16 other
Illustrations.
Demy 8vo. (9 × 5-3/4 inches.) 12s. 6d. net.
The name of Marie Marguerite d'Aubray, Marquise de Brinvilliers, is famous in
the annals of crime, but the true history of her career is little known. A woman of
birth and rank, she was also a remorseless poisoner, and her trial was one of the
most sensational episodes of the early reign of Louis XIV. The author was attracted
to this curious subject by Charles le Brun's realistic sketch of the unhappy
Marquise as she appeared on her way to execution. This chef d'oeuvre of misery
and agony forms the frontispiece to the volume, and strikes a fitting keynote to an
absorbing story of human passion and wrong-doing.
THE VICISSITUDES OF A LADY-IN-WAITING. 1735-1821.
By Eugene Welvert. Translated from the French by Lilian O'Neill.
With a Photogravure Frontispiece and 16 other Illustrations
Demy 8vo. (9 × 5-3/4 inches.) 12s. 6d. net.
 The Duchesse de Narbonne-Lara was Lady-in-Waiting to Madame Adelaide, the
eldest daughter of Louis XV. Around the stately figure of this Princess are gathered
the most remarkable characters of the days of the Old Regime, the Revolution and
the first Empire. The great charm of the work is that it takes us over so much and
varied ground. Here, in the gay crowd of ladies and courtiers, in the rustle of
flowery silken paniers, in the clatter of high-heeled shoes, move the figures of
Louis XV., Louis XVI., Du Barri and Marie-Antoinette. We catch picturesque
glimpses of the great wits, diplomatists and soldiers of the time, until, finally we
encounter Napoleon Bonaparte.

Demy 8vo. (9 × 5-3/4 inches.) 12s. 6d. net.
Although much has been written concerning the Empress Josephine, we know
comparatively little about the veuve Beauharnais and the citoyenne Bonaparte,
whose inconsiderate conduct during her husband's absence caused him so much
anguish. We are so accustomed to consider Josephine as the innocent victim of a
cold and calculating tyrant who allowed nothing, neither human lives nor natural
affections, to stand in the way of his all-conquering will, that this volume will come
to us rather as a surprise. Modern historians are over-fond of blaming Napoleon
for having divorced the companion of his early years; but after having read the
above work, the reader will be constrained to admire General Bonaparte's
forbearance and will wonder how he ever came to allow her to play the Queen at
the Tuileries.

"The greatest living Englishman" was the tribute of his Continental
contemporaries to Sir. Joseph Banks. The author of his "Life" has, with some
enthusiasm, sketched the record of a man who for a period of half a century filled

present generation.

been given to the world. The translation is excellent, and worth reading for its own
sake."
Contemporary Review.—"The book's appeal is, of course, primarily to the music-
lover; but there is so much of human and literary interest in it, such intimate
revelation of a singularly interesting personality, that many who have never come
under the spell of the Pathetic Symphony will be strongly attracted by what is
virtually the spiritual autobiography of its composer. High praise is due to the
translator and editor for the literary skill with which she has prepared the English
version of this fascinating work.... There have been few collections of letters
published within recent years that give so vivid a portrait of the writer as that
presented to us in these pages."
