[Lingtyp] Language in strange and familiar places: our new publications

[Alexandra Aikhenvald]

Dear colleagues,

I thought I'd share with you a few chapters from our most recent volume, Language in strange and familiar places (ed myself, Anne Storch, Viveka Vellupilai, DeGruyter Brill, 2025).

I am ever so grateful to Anne Storch and Viveka Vellupilai (my fellow editors), and many more people - especially my anthropologist friends, and
especially to Stephen Hugh-Jones, Marcelo Carvalho (for sharing his immense knowledge of Hup, both the language and the people), and Cacio Silva (sorry for the absence of the accent), for the information on Yuhup.

Best wishes, have fun

Sacha
