The field of linguistic anthropology looks at human uniqueness and diversity through the lens of language, our species' special combination of art and instinct. Human language both shapes, and is shaped by, our minds, societies, and cultural worlds. This state-of-the-field survey covers a wide range of topics, approaches and theories, such as the nature and function of language systems, the relationship between language and social interaction, and the place of language in the social life of communities. Promoting a broad vision of the subject, spanning a range of disciplines from linguistics to biology, from psychology to sociology and philosophy, this authoritative handbook is an essential reference guide for students and researchers working on language and culture across the social sciences.

This book provides an overview of approaches to language and culture, and it outlines the broad interdisciplinary field of anthropological linguistics and linguistic anthropology. It identifies current and future directions of research, including language socialization, language reclamation, speech styles and genres, language ideology, verbal taboo, social indexicality, emotion, time, and many more. Furthermore, it offers areal perspectives on the study of language in cultural contexts (namely Africa, the Americas, Australia and Oceania, Mainland Southeast Asia, and Europe), and it lays the foundation for future developments within the field. In this way, the book bridges the disciplines of cultural anthropology and linguistics and paves the way for the new book series Anthropological Linguistics.

Das Ziel des Handbuchs ist es, die 'kulturwissenschaftliche Lücke' in der Sprachwissenschaft historisch und systematisch zu reflektieren sowie einen Beitrag zu ihrer Schließung zu leisten. Die Klärung der Frage: "Wie ist Sprachwissenschaft als Kulturwissenschaft möglich?" soll sowohl aus der disziplinären Innenperspektive vorliegender Ansätze der Sprachwissenschaft, als auch aus der Außenperspektive benachbarter Disziplinen fokussiert werden. This handbook undertakes a systematic historical reflection on “cultural science gaps” in linguistics, and seeks to contribute to their resolution. How can linguistics be a cultural science? Answering this question requires the use of methodological resources in linguistics as well as outside perspectives drawn from related disciplines.

This book examines how translation facilitated the Western conquest of China and how it was in turn employed by the Chinese as a weapon to resist the invasion in the late Qing 1811-1911. It brings out the question on the role of translation as part of the Western conquest of Late Qing China, with special attention drawn to the deceptions and manipulations in the translation of the Sino-foreign unequal treaties signed during 1840-1911. The readers will benefit from the assertion that translation did not remain innocent, but rather became intermingled with power abuses in the Chinese milieu as well.
