Скачать или смотреть Sex, Death, and Moral Outrage: remembering Bill Labov

Today, I'm remembering Bill Labov, the founder of sociolinguistics, and the linguist who may have had the largest impact of anybody in the 20th century. If you're into sociolinguistics, dialects, regional variation, slang, story-telling, narrative, identity construction or any of a whole slew of other topics, his work is unavoidable and indispensable.
