Duranti (ed) – Companion.to.Linguistic.Anthropology.pdf

“Duranti has brought together a stellar collection of original essays that will surely become a foundational resource in linguistic anthropology.”
–Deborah Tannen, Georgetown University

“With this Companion, Duranti continues his creative role in giving shape to linguistic anthropology as a field. The chapters will be valuable not only for students, but also for colleagues. They bring together a considerable range of those active in the field, and of important foci of research. To mention just two: it is hard to imagine greater clarity than that brought to linguistic diversity by Mithun, for example, or to the nature of language ideologies by Kroskrity.”
–Dell Hymes, University of Virginia

“A valuable contribution to linguistic anthropology, this book comprises the best articles by some of the best authors. In it, Duranti celebrates the rich diversity of linguistic anthropology by integrating new advances in sociolinguistics, discourse and conversation analysis, gender and ethnic studies, and other sister cross-disciplines. Moving well beyond early studies of varieties of language and folklore, this book offers insights into the cultural dimensions of power, social inequality, identity, and many other dimensions of talk and text in their sociocultural contexts. This will serve as a true companion for many students and scholars in many disciplines.”
–Teun A. van Dijk, Universitat Pompeu Fabra
