Dear colleagues, We are currently working on a textbook on historical sociolinguistics. It would be aimed at final-year undergraduate or early MA / graduate students, including examples and case studies from a range of different languages. As the publisher asked us to make a list of courses in historical sociolinguistics that are part of university curricula worldwide, we launched a brief survey. It would be a great help if you could take a minute to fill it out… it shouldn't take more than 2 minutes of your time. http://tinyurl.com/textbookhsl Thanks for helping us out!
