The Routledge Handbook of Linguistic Anthropology

The Routledge Handbook of Linguistic Anthropology, 1st Edition, provides a scholarly survey of core concepts at the intersection of linguistics and anthropology. Edited by Nancy Bonvillain, the handbook examines the relationship between speech and culture while contextualizing theoretical debates within discussions of fieldwork practice.

The volume is organized into four thematic parts that address language and cultural productions, language ideologies and learning practices, the communication of identities, and local and global power.

With thirty contributions from scholars in the discipline, the handbook introduces historical research developments, core anthropological concepts, and practical considerations for field research.
