Rezension zu „Authority In Language “
'The Milroys' Authority in Language is the most significant textual milestone in researching the ideological construction of Standard English. An absolute must for both historical linguists and sociolinguists.' Richard J. Watts, Emeritus Professor, University of Bern, Switzerland 'No book on the market does a better job of explaining the issues surrounding standardization and linguistic authority in a way which is both scholarly and accessible to students.' Deborah Cameron, University of Oxford, UK
