It offers many clear examples, descriptions, and explanations of regional and linguistic differnces. Of particular interest to those in the field of applied linguistics are the sociolinguistic framework and the empirical methodology for conducting research and quantifying the range of social influences that make their mark on Canadian English." -- Andrew Reimann, Utsunomiya University
