Two Language and Culture Anthro News Blogposts

[Leila Monaghan]

Hi, great to see so many of you at the AAAs in San Francisco!  Just trying
to catch up from anthropological and other ritualistic obligations.  Will
be sending out various things in the next couple of days but let me start
by letting people know about the two interesting language and politics
columns we have up now on the Language and Culture Blog:

That"

all best,
