Balancing theory, practical information and research protocol, this book: * Covers the key methodological, technical and procedural information needed to undertake sociophonetic research * Includes contributions from key academics and ground-breaking researchers * Incorporates exercises and projects in each chapter * Has a companion website that provides additional materials for students and professors, featuring exercises, links to on-line sources for specific tools and includes a large selection of audio and video clips.
