[Linganth] New literature on COVID-19 & SARS from a ling anthro perspective

[Steve Black]

Hi Ignasi and all,
Ignasi, great idea! I am actually just finishing up an Anthropology News SLA section news piece on just this topic, which should be available online by March maybe? (I’ll be sure to share when it becomes available). In the meantime, here are some of the pieces I’ve collected that appear in the section news piece, in addition to the two you mention. Some of these are pre-pandemic pieces that are relevant, and then there have been a few other pieces published specifically about COVID-19.

- 4 commentaries (one by Black [that’s me], one by Chun, and one by Du, plus one by the journal editors) in a special forum for Language, Culture, and Society 2(2).

Subject: [Linganth] New literature on COVID-19 & SARS from a ling anthro perspective

Dear colleagues,

As the pandemic continues, I was wondering if we could share updates on references/publication/ research available on COVID-19 or SARS from a linguistic anthropology perspective and more generally from a language-focused perspective (conversation analysis, discourse analysis, and scholars sensitive to language from any discipline).

A few months ago, a few references already circulated, I can only remember two. I’m sure more were circulated back then and that more will have been published by now.

Thank you very much,
Ignasi Clemente
