出版说明
社会语言学是研究语言与社会多方面关系的学科，它从社会科学的不同角度，诸如社会学、人类学、民族学、心理学、地理学和历史学等去考察语言。自20世纪60年代发端以来，社会语言学已经逐渐发展成为语言学研究中的一门重要学科，引发众多学者的关注和探究。
‘牛津社会语言学丛书”由国际社会语言学研究的两位领军人物英国卡迪夫大学语言与交际研究中心的教授 Nicolas Coupland和Adam Jaworski（现在中国香港大学英语学院任教）——担任主编。丛书自2004年由牛津大学出版社陆续出版以来，推出了一系列社会语言学研究的专著，可以说是汇集了这一学科研究的最新成果，代表了当今国际社会语言学研究的最高水平。
我们从中精选出九种，引进出版。所选的这些专著内容广泛，又较贴近我国学者研究的需求，涵盖了当今社会语言学的许多重要课题，如语言变体与语言变化、语言权力与文化认同、语言多元化与语言边缘化、语言与族裔、语言与立场（界位）、语言与新媒体、语用学与礼貌、语言与法律以及社会语言学视角下的话语研究等等。其中既有理论研究，又有方法创新；既有框架分析建构，又有实地考察报告；既体现本学科的前沿和纵深，又展现跨学科的交叉和互补。
相信丛书的引进出版能为从事社会语言学研究的读者带来新的启示，进一步推动我国语言学研究的发展。
‘Stance covers every facet of the field, from variationist to interactionist to ethnographic sociolinguistics and linguistic anthropology, providing a unifying concept which allows for exciting new avenues of analysis. This is a major contribution toward untangling the web of relationships between agency and structuration, and toward understanding the complex processes of social change.”
—Monica Heller, University of Toronto
‘The chapters in this volume anchor stance and stancetaking in the contemporary sociolinguistic landscape. Drawing on data as diverse as missionary letters and television commercials, everyday talk and lifestyle magazines, the authors demonstrate how stance is related in theory and analytical practice to concepts such as ideology, style, indexicality, identity, and power. Lucid and inspiring, this is likely to become a landmark collection in linguistic anthropology and postvariationist sociolinguistics.”
—Jannis Androutsopoulos, King’s College London
‘This volume masterfully brings together recent work by scholars who are concerned with investigating the intersection of stancetaking and stylization (in everyday talk as well as media genres)—not only to address important sociolinguistic concerns such as the construction of multiple selves and social identities, notions of personhood, positionality, language ideology, and relations of power in new ways, but also to call for new sociolinguistic methodologies. The authors provide compelling arguments for abandoning static correlational studies of linguistic variables and social identities and embracing an approach that focuses explicitly on interactional practices and processes of indexicalization. The book provides a state-of-the-art examination of theory and empirical work on stance and style.”
—Marjorie Harness Goodwin, University of California—Los Angeles
