The Anthropology of Language: An Introduction to Linguistic Anthropology

The new edition of this highly successful, student-centered text fully engages students by emphasizing contemporary issues and the application of linguistic anthropology. Students easily learn from real-life chapter-opening vignettes ("In the Field"), and the boxed features that provide concrete examples of "Doing Linguistic Anthropology" and "Cross-Language Miscommunication." This edition continues to use a holistic framework to discuss the three key areas of linguistic anthropology -- historical linguistics, structural linguistics, and sociolinguistics -- and provides more emphasis on methodology, skills, techniques, tools, and applications, including new sidebars, more visuals, and more examples from different languages.
