This series is devoted to works from a wide array of scholarly traditions that treat linguistic practices as forms of social action. We consider two types of manuscripts: (1) those in which language itself is the main object of inquiry; and (2) those in which linguistic analysis is used as a method to shed light on other objects of inquiry. </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; "><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; ">The series welcomes monographs, edited volumes, and experiments in other, particularly dialogic, formats. We also especially encourage submissions of manuscripts that are readable and accessible to a wide range of potential audiences. Manuscripts should be ethnographically rich, theoretically exciting, and/or innovative in form or content. Issues appropriate for the series include linguistic inequality, old and new literacies, linguistic relativity, the contexts of linguistic change, language socialization, institutional discourse, agency and language, language contact, language endangerment and revitalization, poetics and performance, language ideologies, narrative analysis, language, gender, and sexuality, and the aesthetics of language use.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; ">The editorial board especially welcomes expressions of interest from authors or editors of volumes that are <b><i><u>innovative</u></i></b> in form or content.
