內容簡介
社會語言學是研究語言與社會多方麵關係的學科,它從社會科學的不同角度,諸如社會學、人類學、民族學、心理學、地理學和曆史學等去考察語言。自20世紀60年代發端以來,社會語言學已經逐漸發展成為語言學研究中的一門重要學科,引發眾多學者的關注和探究。
“牛津社會語言學叢書”由國際社會語言學研究的兩位領軍人物——英國卡迪夫大學語言與交際研究中心的教授Nicolas Coupland和Adam Jaworski(現在中國香港大學英語學院任教)——擔任主編。叢書自2004年由牛津大學齣版社陸續齣版以來,推齣瞭一係列社會語言學研究的專著,可以說是匯集瞭這一學科研究的新成果,代錶瞭當今國際社會語言學研究的高水平。
《牛津社會語言學叢書》從中精選齣九種,引進齣版。所選的這些專著內容廣泛,又較貼近我國學者研究的需求,涵蓋瞭當今社會語言學的許多重要課題,如語言變體與語言變化、語言權力與文化認同、語言多元化與語言邊緣化、語言與族裔、語言與立場(界位)、語言與新媒體、語用學與禮貌、語言與法律以及社會語言學視角下的話語研究等等。其中既有理論研究,又有方法創新;既有框架分析建構,又有實地考察報告;既體現本學科的前沿和縱深,又展現跨學科的交叉和互補。
相信《牛津社會語言學叢書》的引進齣版能為從事社會語言學研究的讀者帶來新的啓示,進一步推動我國語言學研究的發展。

《牛津社會語言學叢書·語言神話與英語曆史》:
A further "linguistic test" for the conjectured long manuscript history of Beowulf is phonetic/metrical. The argument runs as follows: certain half lines do not appear to scan well because they contain contractions. Hence in the "original" text they must have appeared with uncontracted forms; for example, gepeeon is said to appear in place of a reconstructed original *gel:ihan. The argument is spurious, however, since, in accordance with syllable theory in phonology (Roca & Johnson 1999, chap. 9; Zec 2007), both words are trisyllabic, and we can surely expect both performers and listeners (readers) to have had a good sense of the rhythmic and metrical conventions of their own poetry. In addition, if scribes were sensible enough to change *genihan to gebeon from one older manuscript to another, why did they fail to insert definite determiners into a large percentage of determiner less noun phrases in Beowulf ?
I will not run through the story of the hypothetical "early" form wundini, which resulted from a blind reliance on Zupitza's facsimile, except to say that it remains the only argument left to those who wish to use linguistic evidence to prove their hypothesis of the long manuscript history of Beowulf. Kiernan makes the eminently commonsense point that if one were to carry out a detailed study of the manuscript rather than the text, the hypothesised word wundini disappears, and the word that can be suggested (and only suggested because of the damage to the vellum at this point in the manuscript) is ,vunden, which would be perfectly normal for the poetry of the early eleventh century.
How can we account for the variation of forms that occur in the Beowulf manuscript? First, we should remember that sociolinguists know very little indeed about dialectal variation in pre-Conquest times. The estimated population of England at the tum of the eleventh century was between 1.5 million and 1.8 million. With relatively poor means of transportation overland, goods were more easily carried by boat around the coasts and up the navigable rivers, which led to population clusters in coastal areas and along the courses of such rivers as the Thames, the Severn, the Humber, the Trent, the Yorkshire Ouse and the Avon. So although population in those areas was not necessarily scattered, communication between them was not always easy. We would therefore expect a reasonably broad range of spoken dialects to have evolved from the fifth to the eleventh century, but we have little to go on apart from the written documents that have survived.
There are notorious difficulties in extrapolating from written documents to hypothesised oral usage, which I will not go into here. Suffice it to say that we can very broadly accept a range of dialects reaching from the northern limits of "English"-speaking territory (present-day Northumberland and the southeastern counties of lowland Scotland) down to the River Humber. These have traditionally been called "Northumbrian", although even within this large area there must have been degrees of variation. A second area stretched from the east coast south of the Humber across to the Welsh borders and as far south as the Thames valley, constituting the varieties that have tradition- ally been called "Anglian". Here, however, a language contact situation existed roughly to the east of the Roman road called Watling Street and created by widespread Danish settlement in those areas. We can assume that speakers of Danish in what was called the Danelaw area would have lost their mother tongue within roughly three generations if they were in frequent contact with speakers of Anglo-Saxon, but not before Danish had exerted a considerable lexical and morphological influence on eastern Anglian forms of Anglo- Saxon. The Danish (or it might be more appropriate to talk of "Norse") influence also extended into the Northumbrian area, and there is evidence that Danish (or Norse) was still spoken in York in the tenth century.
The two remaining dialect areas were Kentish south of the River Thames in the southeastern part of the country as far as the coast, and West Saxon roughly south of the Thames to the coast and stretching west as far as the Bristol Channel coast, Cornwall and the River Severn. The struggle for the control of England after the Danish incursions of the late eighth and ninth centuries led to the hegemony of the West Saxon royal house and, from the time of King Alfred on, the imposition of a proto-standard written variety of West Saxon.
