2nd/3rd wave variation: ethnography (2nd) and linguistic practice (3rd)

For anyone who has never read about Penny Eckert’s “Jocks and Burnouts” study, I highly recommend it.

Eckert does a fantastic job at describing the details of talk, as well as other behavioral practices, found across different social communities.
