The Romance languages offer a particularly fertile ground for the exploration of the relationship between language and society in different social contexts and communities. Focusing on a wide range of Romance languages – from national languages to minoritised varieties – this volume explores questions concerning linguistic diversity and multilingualism, language contact, medium and genre, variation and change. It will interest researchers and policy-makers alike.

"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
