Review Quotes:
"This edition is more than just a latest edition of the two earlier ones, as it is an improved and, in the authors' words, a 'thoroughly revised and updated version' (p. xiii) made more comprehensive by featuring new, separate sections on Jewish English and Asian American English, as well as a whole separate chapter on language and ethnicity."
--Polycarp Naanma Dajang - The Linguist
"The book's rather simple language and style of presentation means it is an invaluable text for readers from a wide range of backgrounds."
--Polycarp Naanma Dajang - The Linguist
"The interactive features (websites with text, audio files and video vignettes which can be accessed by anyone with a smartphone by the Quick Response (QR) code facility) especially make the book a reader-friendly resource for anyone interested in learning about variation studies, dialects and dialect issues, especially of dialects in the United States."
