- Synopsis
- For this edition, Salzmann (emeritus, U. of Massachusetts-Amherst) has taken on two fellow anthropologists: James Stanlaw, and Nobuko Adachi (both Illinois State U. ), who contribute recent material reflecting changes in information technology and digital communications. The textbook introduces the study of human language from an anthropological perspective. The topics include methods of linguistic anthropology, structure of words and sentences, the development and evolution of language, language through time, languages in variation and in contact, the ethnography of communication, and linguistic anthropology in a globalized world.
