Call For Papers

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 revitalization
  • Nature and function of language systems
  • Language and social interaction
  • Language ideology
  • Language contact and social change
  • Linguistic minorities
  • Language and political economy
  • Language and media
  • Semiotic anthropology
  • Language acquisition and socialization
  • Language and education


 

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

 

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue - Linguistic Anthropology” should be selected during your submission.
