| Welcome to Stanford Sociolinguistics! |
|
Our sociolinguistics program is variation-based, combining a strong emphasis on the social side of variation with a department-wide interest in the linguistic constraints on variation. In keeping with these two emphases, we enjoy vibrant activity in both fieldwork and work with online corpora.

The Stanford Department of Linguistics is unusual in its overall departmental emphasis on data-rich linguistics. As a result, sociolinguistics is not the poor cousin that it is in many linguistics departments. At Stanford, sociolinguistics is integral to the Department's intellectual agenda.
