This handbook investigates the complex intersection of human language, social practice, and cultural identity through the lens of contemporary linguistic anthropology. Edited by Nancy Bonvillain, the volume compiles contributions from leading scholars to examine how linguistic structures and communicative practices shape, and are shaped by, social hierarchies, political economies, and globalized environments. The text provides a comprehensive framework for understanding language not merely as a system of signs, but as a dynamic tool for social action and the construction of meaning.
