Everyday I wake up in despair thinking I have to actually read the words written in this book knowing 50% of it is a word zoo. Why is this book so disorganized? What is the point? Why do you mix concepts and examples in the same paragraph ? Why can't you explain the concepts first and THEN you show an example ? Why do you write this knowing you're inflicting suffering on every sociolinguistic student to ever exist ? I almost vomited and passed out reading words in this book . Do not recommend.
