Abstract:

Language and place are intimately connected: depending on where we
are, what the context is and what our aims are, we will adjust our
language accordingly. Yet linguistics defines itself by a framework
that determines which kind of language is worth investigating. Within
that framework, linguistics constructs both language and place in
multiple ways: language as a sequestered thing belongs to the field
site or the classroom; language as fluid practice is associated with
the street; language as reconstruction belongs to migration corridors.
What about the places that tend to fall between the cracks? This
volume explores language in strange and familiar places, from Europe
to Africa, Amazonia, Australia and the Pacific, in order to shed light
on them.
