THE SOCIOLOGY OF LANGUAGE: FOUNDATIONS, ISSUES AND CONTEMPORARY PERSPECTIVES: LINGUISTICS

Sociology of Language: Foundations, Challenges, and Contemporary Perspectives offers a rigorous synthesis of the main approaches that have shaped the study of the relationships between language phenomena and social organization. By revisiting major theoretical frameworks from interactionism to critical analyses of linguistic inequalities the book highlights how discursive practices contribute to the production, reproduction, and transformation of social structures. It also explores contemporary reconfigurations of the field, notably those linked to identity dynamics, technological changes, and cultural exchanges. This manuscript aims to provide a solid contribution to the consolidation of a continually evolving discipline, while opening research avenues for a sociology of language that is attentive to current challenges.
