Selections are both historically oriented and thematically coherent, and are accessibly grouped according to four major themes: speech community and communicative competence; the performance of language; language socialization and literacy practices; and the power of language
An extensive introduction provides an original perspective on the development of the field and highlights its most compelling issues
