By the award-winning former president of the Linguistic Society of America, this collection
of some of John Russell Rickford's pioneering works shows how linguists in sociolinguistics
and creole studies can benefit from utilizing data, theories and methods from each
other, as they more frequently did in the 1960s and 1970s, when both subfields, in
their modern forms at least, were getting started. The volume addresses fundamental
sociolinguistic topics such as social class, style, fieldwork, speech community, sociolinguistic
competence and language attitudes with data from Guyanese and other Caribbean creoles.
Recurrent concepts are also considered including language versatility, variation and
change, vernacular use, school success and criminal justice in African America and
the Caribbean, using models, case studies and methodologies from sociolinguistics.
Theoretical and applied scholars, students apprehensive about sociolinguistic fieldwork,
and those considering dynamic methods like implicational scaling about which little
is written in linguistics textbooks, will find this volume invaluable. Includes a
