Since 1993, professors have turned to Language, Culture, and Society for its comprehensive coverage of all critical aspects of linguistic anthropology. The revised and updated sixth edition features:

A greatly expanded discussion of the sociocultural context of language, including a new chapter on gender and a thoroughly revised and broadened chapter on race, ethnicity, and class

End-of-chapter resource manuals and study guides with key terms, questions for discussion, group and individual projects, objective study questions and problems (with answers), and suggestions for further reading

Additional exercises on phonetics and syntax that reflect contemporary research

Sidebars and boxes throughout the book that provide ethnographic detail and illustrate the practical experience of conducting linguistic research

A global perspective and a focus on transnational and multilingual anthropology

Expanded sections on written languages and theoretical and historical perspectives of linguistic anthropology.
