Reviews

"Researchers and supervisors will welcome a volume which offers extensive coverage of contemporary Romance research themes and, where needed, a grounding in sociolinguistic theory drawn from anglophone sources. For linguists based in modern languages departments in particular, this is the handbook we have needed for some time." David Hornsby in: French Studies, 2020, Vol 74, Iss. 1, 165-166
