""Language, Culture, and Society provides comprehensive coverage of the fundamental subfields of linguistic anthropology. The rich variety of examples presented from languages spoken all over the globe allows students to enter the world of working linguistic anthropologists.""―Marilyn S. Manley, Rowan University ""A major introduction and overview to the (reborn) field of linguistic anthropology. The book is systematic and very accessible. It covers most of what is relevant in the field, for which it certainly is to be highly recommended.""―Applied Linguistics ""This is exactly what an introduction to linguistic anthropology should be. Touching on all the major components of the field, this accessible text demonstrates what the systematic study of language can tell us about human culture, history, and cognition.”—Caleb Everett, University of Miami ""This new edition is not a simple revision, but a re-visioning of introductory linguistic anthropology. Stanlaw and Adachi begin with basic linguistic concepts and take the reader through contemporary problems in linguistic anthropology... using examples from classic and recent research. This book is accessible to any college student interested in linguistic anthropology.”—Douglas W. Hume, Northern Kentucky University
