This is the first booklength treatment in English of the interactions of language and culture. Though focused on North American anthropology and linguistics, all major cross currents in the field from Europe and America are covered, from Boas to structuralism and on through postmodernism. The two key issues are how language might influence culture, and how language structure may be used as a model for nonlanguagebased systems. Like Siamese twins, these two themes of linguistic relativity and semiotics have much in common, and the ideas raised in language and culture studies have relevance to cultural anthropology, sociology, folklore, literary criticism, cognitive science, and linguistics. This book is unique not only in being the sole organic treatment of this important part of linguistic anthropology, but also in its historiographic organization, which allows the reader to see how the field developed along with major issues. At the same time, the relations to the other areas of linguistic anthropology sociolinguistics, discourse analysis, paralinguistics, cognitive anthropology, and literary studiesare clearly shown.

I was hoping for a lighter read about language and culture, but this book was more academic than I anticipated. It arrived quickly, but the content just didn't fit what I was looking for. Maybe better for someone more deeply into the subject.

Very insightful and comprehensive
I bought this book on language and culture for my linguistics class, and it has been a real eye-opener. The way it connects linguistic concepts to cultural practices is fascinating. I can see this being a fantastic reference for anyone studying anthropology too!
