Whenever we open our mouths to speak, we provide those who hear us,
chosen interlocuters or mere bystanders, with a wealth of data,
linguistic clues others use to position us within a specific social
strata. Our particular uses of language mark us geographically,
ethnically, by age or sex, and, especially in stratified societies,
according to class or caste. This collection of papers by
researchers in cultural and linguistic anthropology examine these
concepts as well as many others. Linguists, anthropologists, and
others concerned with the formal study of the social uses and
functions of language are concerned with documenting the
implications of such judging on the lives of various peoples around
the world and among the classes within their own societies. What
linguistic features of speech are used to form stereotypical
impressions about the social identity (as well as the character) of
others? How are linguistic features linked to ethnicity, to gender,
to race, and to class? This collection of papers by researchers in
cultural and linguistic anthropology examine these concepts as well
as many others.
