Annotation

After a historical overview of the development of sociolinguistics and the concepts constitutive of the sociolinguistic paradigm, L. outlines a theory of situation-bound verbalization (with reference to Bernstein's theories), and presents a case study of the verbal behavior of defendants in court (comparing the behavior of people belonging to different social classes).
