Crossing Borders, Making Connections Interdisciplinarity in Linguistics

"A variety of thoughtful viewpoints and informative texts make this book a very welcome and inspiring contribution to studies about language, culture, and communication. This series is likely to be valuable for many readers, and especially for researchers and students in Linguistics who are interested in developing collaborative work across disciplines and with stakeholders. The 18 chapters in this first volume embrace a wide array of linguistic approaches as well as providing insight into disciplines other than Linguistics [...]. All authors are experts engaged in interdisciplinary initiatives who participate in theoretical debates and who discuss methodological approaches - some of them also provide considerations on practical issues. Contributors generously offer numerous concrete examples and detailed illustrations of how inter- and transdisciplinary approaches to language and communication have been developed within different research fields. [...] Summing up, the overall level of fresh thinking in this collection sets high standards for those to come in this new series."
