Anthropology of Language

The Anthropology of Language series opens fresh inquiry into the untold
ways human beings shape languages and language shapes humanity. Through
innovative monographs and collections, scholars explore the intertwining
relationships shared between culture and language, asking how such
relations might help us better understand what it means to be human.
Studies in the series are empirically grounded, conceptually critical and
theoretically aware. Language and culture are approached as embodied
semiotic modeling processes inclusive of speech and social performance but
not limited to observable behavior—thus encompassing social and cognitive
dimensions of human experience. Series authors accept the radical
co-existence of linguistic relativity and universal aspects of human
cognition, affirming that even though language and culture are unique to
the human species, such phenomena grow out of natural processes and
function in continuity with animal communication systems.

To promote the analysis and interpretation of language in cultural contexts
and culture in linguistic constructs, the series welcomes a non-restrictive
range of linguistic approaches, using mixed methodologies to treat topics
ranging from the embodied human person and evolutionary dimensions of human
existence to the vast array of human sociocultural/rhetorical dynamics and
speech variation practices. Semiotic, cognitive and multimodal approaches
to linguistic anthropology are particularly welcome, as are diachronic,
cross-cultural and cross-linguistic comparisons.
