Juan Manuel Hernández Campoy & Manuel Almeida,
Metodología de la investigación
sociolingüística. Málaga: Comares, 2005. Pp.
xv, 349.
In the Prologue (pp. ix–x), Peter Trudgill rightly acknowledges
the authors as “highly experienced” in carrying out
sociolinguistic research and as “first-class practitioners.”
In the Introducción (xi–xiv), Hérnandez Campoy and
Almeida (HC&A) state that their work is an attempt to compensate for
the scarcity of “introductory manuals dedicated to present the
methodology and procedures in sociolinguistic research” (xi), as
opposed to the large number of theoretical books on the discipline.
