Talk:Allan Bell (sociolinguist)

Adding to the Article
This stub is currently a "meh" article. A lot more could be added to it to make it better than it already it is.

One thing that could be added is more background about Allan Bell. While there is already a little bit of information regarding his background and his start in the field, more could possibly be added.

The most important thing in this stub that can be improved upon is what exactly Allan Bell has talked about and discovered in the areas of sociolinguistics he has covered. What is his stance on language style? Media language? I feel that if actual information about his work was added to the stub would be more beneficial instead of just saying "this are the areas he has covered."

What exactly has he said in his publications? That might be something that could be added to this stub.

Additions to Page
I have added the sections of "Education and Early Career" and "Journal of Sociolinguistics" to the page. I also added some more information to the "Publications" section of the page. The page was lacking in some information about Allan Bell, so I added some information that might prove to be useful for anyone who is looking to learn more about him.Klknight97 (talk) 01:30, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
