Subject: Announcing a new text: Metalinguistic Communities

Ling-Anth Colleagues,

My co-editor, Netta Avineri, and I are proud to announce the publication of an edited volume that may be of interest to some of you:

Metalinguistic Communities: Case Studies of Agency, Ideology and Symbolic Uses of Language published by Palgrave MacMillan.

It is available in both e-book and hard copy<https://www.palgrave.com/gp/book/9783030768997>.  Here is the book blurb:


"This edited volume brings together ten compelling ethnographic case studies from a global range of settings to explore how people build metalinguistic communities defined not by use of a language, but primarily by language ideologies and symbolic practices about the language.  The authors examine themes of agency, belonging, negotiating hegemony, and combating cultural erasure and genocide in cultivating meaningful metalinguistic communities. Case studies include Spanish and Hebrew in the USA, Kurdish in Japan, Pataxó Hãhãhãe in Brazil, and Gallo in France. The afterword, by Wesley L. Leonard, provides theoretical and on-the-ground context as well as a forward-looking focus on metalinguistic futurities. This book will be of interest to interdisciplinary students and scholars in applied linguistics, linguistic anthropology and migration studies."


We hope the book may be useful for your research and/or teaching. Feel free to be in touch with us if you'd like more information as well.

Best,

Jesse
