内容简介

　　社会语言学是研究语言与社会多方面关系的学科，它从社会科学的不同角度，诸如社会学、人类学、民族学、心理学、地理学和历史学等去考察语言。自20世纪60年代发端以来，社会语言学已经逐渐发展成为语言学研究中的一门重要学科，引发众多学者的关注和探究。
　　“牛津社会语言学丛书”由国际社会语言学研究的两位领军人物——英国卡迪夫大学语言与交际研究中心的教授Nicolas Coupland和Adam Jaworski（现在中国香港大学英语学院任教）——担任主编。丛书自2004年由牛津大学出版社陆续出版以来，推出了一系列社会语言学研究的专著，可以说是汇集了这一学科研究的新成果，代表了当今国际社会语言学研究的高水平。
　　《牛津社会语言学丛书》从中精选出九种，引进出版。所选的这些专著内容广泛，又较贴近我国学者研究的需求，涵盖了当今社会语言学的许多重要课题，如语言变体与语言变化、语言权力与文化认同、语言多元化与语言边缘化、语言与族裔、语言与立场（界位）、语言与新媒体、语用学与礼貌、语言与法律以及社会语言学视角下的话语研究等等。其中既有理论研究，又有方法创新；既有框架分析建构，又有实地考察报告；既体现本学科的前沿和纵深，又展现跨学科的交叉和互补。
　　相信《牛津社会语言学丛书》的引进出版能为从事社会语言学研究的读者带来新的启示，进一步推动我国语言学研究的发展。

　　《牛津社会语言学丛书·语言神话与英语历史》：
　　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.
