The Routledge Handbook of Linguistic Anthropology

Beschreibung

The Handbook of Linguistic Anthropology is an extensive and authoritative collection of topical, theoretical, and methodological perspectives in the broad field of linguistic anthropology. Now in its second edition, it has been fully updated to address current and pressing global challenges and inspire action. Carefully edited by Bonvillain and García-Sánchez, this volume advances readers' understanding of how language intersects with cognitive processes and social identities of gender, race, sexual orientation, and neurodiversity. Across twenty-nine chapters, contributors outline the foundations and key issues of linguistic anthropology, particularly language ideologies, while exploring practical approaches to research. Drawing from their research experience in universities across North America and abroad, they particularly emphasise ways in which theories and methodologies can contribute to social action and social justice movements on environmental and transitional justice, immigration and multilingualism, and Indigenous language revitalization or re-awakening. This handbook is an indispensable resource for students and researchers of applied and linguistic anthropology.
