The Committee feels this book is a landmark in the study of language change. It not only presents a coherent and compelling account of the internal mechanics of phonological change, but successfully integrates this account with theoretical advances in grammatical theory, sociolinguistics, and dialectology, as well as historical linguistics. Labov's scholarship in this work is unsurpassed and ranges from a proposed solution to the Neogrammarian controversy, to an account of the changing dialect situation in the United States, to proposals for applying the theory of lexical phonology to the explanation of a set of historical paradoxes, and to exploring the limits of functional explanation.\" \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eLSA\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"This is a book that anyone interested in social factors in language change will want to read.\" \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eJournal of Multilingual \u0026amp; Multicultural Development.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForeword. \u003cp\u003eNotational Conventions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I: The Speech Community.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.
