{"product_id":"handbook-of-japanese-sociolinguistics-9781501507472","title":"Handbook of Japanese Sociolinguistics","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis volume is the first comprehensive survey of the sociolinguistic studies on Japanese. Japanese, like other languages, has developed a highly diverse linguistic system that is realized as variation shaped by interactions of linguistic and social factors. This volume primarily focuses on both classic and current topics of sociolinguistics that were first studied in Western languages, and then subsequently examined in the Japanese language. The topics in this volume cover major issues in sociolinguistics that also characterize sociolinguistic features of Japanese. Such topics as gender, honorifics, and politeness are particularly pertinent to Japanese, as is well-known in general sociolinguistics. At the same time, this volume includes studies on other topics such as social stratification, discourse, contact, and language policy, which have been widely conducted in the Japanese context. In addition, this volume introduces \"domestic\" approaches to sociolinguistics developed in Japan. They emerged a few decades before the development of the so-called Labovian and Hymesian sociolinguistics in the US, and they have shaped a unique development of sociolinguistic studies in Japan. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eContents\u003c\/u\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart I: History\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1: Research methodology\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eFlorian Coulmas\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2: Japan and the international sociolinguistic community\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eYoshiyuki Asahi and J.K.
