Synopsis

The third edition of Language, Culture, and Society continues to address the full spectrum of fundamental topics in linguistic anthropology. Because anthropology stresses a holistic view, the integration of data from all subfields of anthropology and related fields is evident throughout the book. The new edition is enriched by deeper considerations of linguistic profiling and language prejudice, linguistic pluralism in the United States, intercultural communication, and endangered languages and language death. The final chapter is devoted to applied linguistic anthropology. Four new problems of linguistic reconstruction and 22 new “Questions for Discussion” further enhance the Third Edition's classroom appeal.
