Abstract:

This collection presents new research on key topics in anthropological
linguistics, with a focus on African languages. While Africanist
linguists have long been concerned with sociocultural aspects of
language structure and use, no comprehensive volume dedicated to the
anthropological linguistics of Africa has yet been published. This
volume seeks to fill this gap. The chapters address a broad range of
topics in anthropological linguistics, including classic themes such
as spatial reference, color, kin terms, and emotion, as well as
emerging interests in the linguistic expression of personhood,
sociality, and language ideology. All contributions are based on
original empirical research and present insights into African language
practices from a sociocultural perspective. The volume showcases
research on dozens of African languages spoken across the continent,
with particular emphasis on languages of East Africa. This book will
be of interest to areal specialists as well as to anthropological
linguists worldwide.
