Treballs de Sociolingüística Catalana has been the yearbook of the Societat Catalana de Sociolingüística (formerly Grup Català de Sociolingüística), an affiliate society of the Institut d'Estudis Catalans, since 1977. In accordance with the Society's statutory objectives, Treballs de Sociolingüística Catalana stimulates and mirrors research in sociolinguistics, understood in the broad and integrative sense that has characterized it in the Catalan-speaking countries.
