Annotation

This paper theoretically discusses sociolinguistic scales and scale shifts, triggering shifts in value and validity, and then illustrates these shifts empirically. This paper fits in a broader program of building a model of sociolinguistics that is theoretically apt to handle globalization phenomena.
