New Virtual Issue!
To mark the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the NWAV (New Ways of Analyzing Variation) conference, the Journal of Sociolinguistics has assembled a free virtual issue that highlights a few key contributions to our understanding of sociolinguistic variation, all published in the Journal of Sociolinguistics starting with its first issue in 1997.
A Perspective for Linguistic Anthropology
Dell H. Hymes is one of the founders of this field and the editors of Journal of Sociolinguistics are delighted to share his article A Perspective for Linguistic Anthropology. This text, which is nearly 50 years old, is the script of a 1963 radio talk that Hymes gave for a series on anthropology which was broadcast on the Voice of America.
Dell Hymes died in November 2009, and in the November 2010 issue (14:5) we also carry a tribute to him from Jan Blommaert.
