Linguistics 5 Language in Society

This is a broad summary of Van Herk's 'What is Sociolinguistics?'. It includes a summary of the chapters: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12. As Van Herk mainly explains certain methods and keywords through examples and literal definitions of keywords and specific jargon, this summary mainly contains key excerpts of the book rather than a "simplifying summary" and bullet points, etc.
