In this innovative textbook, Alessandro Duranti introduces
linguistic anthropology as an interdisciplinary field which studies
language as a cultural resource and speaking as a cultural
practice. The theories and methods of linguistic anthropology are
introduced through a discussion of linguistic diversity, grammar in
use, the role of speaking in social interaction, the organisation
and meaning of conversational structures, and the notion of
participation as a unit of analysis. An entire chapter is devoted
to the notion of culture, and there are invaluable methodological
chapters on ethnography and transcription. Original in its
treatment and yet eminently clear and readable, Linguistic
Anthropology will appeal to both upper-level undergraduate and
graduate students.
