《社會語言學:語言變體的社會詮釋》內容簡介：Modem linguistics, whether dating back to Ferdinand de Saussureor Wilhelm von Humboldt, has been developing at leaps and bounds inthe past decades. Such a virile development is, as a matter of fact, anexpected result of expanding human knowledge of Nature as well asvarious human social activities not excluding the use of human languagethat, if properly executed, pools human beings together and if not, pullsthem apart. The study of human civilization is accordingly kaleidoscopicin general, and requests many a close-up in particular. So does themodem study of human language science, linguistics.
