This edited volume brings together ten compelling ethnographic case
studies from a range of global settings to explore how people build
metalinguistic communities defined not by use of a language, but
primarily by language ideologies and symbolic practices about the
language. The authors examine themes of agency, belonging,
negotiating hegemony, and combating cultural erasure and genocide
in cultivating meaningful metalinguistic communities. Case studies
include Spanish and Hebrew in the USA, Kurdish in Japan, Pataxo
Hahahae in Brazil, and Gallo in France. The afterword, by Wesley L.
Leonard, provides theoretical and on-the-ground context as well as
a forward-looking focus on metalinguistic futurities. This book
will be of interest to interdisciplinary students and scholars in
applied linguistics, linguistic anthropology and migration studies.
