Beschreibung

The Routledge Handbook of Language and Culture presents the first comprehensive survey of research on the relationship between language and culture. It provides readers with a clear and accessible introduction to both interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary studies of language and culture, and addresses key issues of language and culturally based linguistic research from a variety of perspectives and theoretical frameworks.

This Handbook features thirty-three newly commissioned chapters which

• cover key areas such as cognitive psychology, cognitive linguistics, cognitive anthropology, linguistic anthropology, cultural anthropology, and sociolinguistics
• offer insights into the historical development, contemporary theory, research, and practice of each topic, and explore the potential future directions of the field
• show readers how language and culture research can be of practical benefit to applied areas of research and practice, such as intercultural communication and second language teaching and learning.

Written by a group of prominent scholars from around the globe, The Routledge Handbook of Language and Culture provides a vital resource for scholars and students working in this area.

Rezensionen

"This is a breathtakingly wide-ranging book that reveals the literally thousands of complexities in the study of language and culture. Clearly structured and written by the best experts in the field, it is a milestone in the serious study of the language-culture interface."
Zoltán Kövecses, Eötvös Loránd University, Hungary





"As the world becomes increasingly globalised, it's extremely important for people in many different fields to gain a deeper understanding of the interrelationship between language and culture. This Handbook provides a wonderfully broad-ranging and stimulating exploration of this complex field and is likely to become an important reference source for all those working in this area."
Helen Spencer-Oatey, University of Warwick, UK





"The publisher's copy recommends the Routlege Handbook of Language and Culture as 'a vital resource for scholars and students interested in language and culture'. That it certainly is. The coverage is broad and there is much of immediate practical use."
Gary Palmer, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, USA
