Ideology, and Symbolic Uses of Language.

Best,
Ilana

Press blurb: This edited volume brings together ten compelling ethnographic
case studies from a range of global 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.
