Special Issue on Linguistic Anthropology
Linguistic
anthropology is the interdisciplinary study of how language influences social
life. It is a branch of anthropology that originated from the endeavor to
document endangered languages, and has grown over the past 100 years to
encompass most aspects of language structure and use. Linguistic anthropology
explores how language shapes communication, forms social identity and group
membership, organizes large-scale cultural beliefs and ideologies, and develops
a common cultural representation of natural and social worlds.
In this special issue, we intend to invite
front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review
articles on exploring Linguistic Anthropology.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
-
Language heritage, standardization and
variation

Language loss, maintenance, and
