Abstract:

This edited collection presents two sets of interdisciplinary conversations 
connecting theoretical, methodological, and ideological issues in the study of
language. In the first section, Approaches to the study of the indigenous 
languages of the Americas, the authors connect historical, theoretical, and 
documentary linguistics to examine the crucial role of endangered language 
data for the development of biopsychological theory and to highlight how 
methodological decisions impact language revitalization efforts. Section two,
Approaches to the study of voices and ideologies, connects anthropological 
and documentary linguistics to examine how discourses of language contact, 
endangerment, linguistic purism and racism shape scholarly practice and 
language policy and to underscore the need for linguists and laypersons alike
to acquire the analytical tools to deconstruct discourses of inequality. 
Together, these chapters pay homage to the scholarship of Jane H. Hill, 
demonstrating how a critical, interdisciplinary linguistics narrows the gap 
between disparate fields of analysis to treat the ecology of language in its 
entirety.
