Review

“The essays … display a vigorous subdisciplinary repertoire with much to offer the contemporary research university, and they show that a field is not necessarily humdrum for being useful.” (Journal of Anthropological Research, November 2008)

“Duranti…has done more than anyone else in the past generation to establish linguistic anthropology as a scholarly field. … Designed to be user-friendly …A Companion to Linguistic Anthropology…is an impressive achievement, and will be of great value to its field and neighboring fields, for a long time to come. This Companion may be a culmination of Duranti’s considerable work to establish linguistic anthropology.” (Journal of Sociolinguistics)

“This hefty, immaculate volume inaugurates the innovative series of Blackwell Companions to Anthropology, and does so with academic panache … Intelligible for readers with no previous knowledge of the field … A resource of genuine utility in academic libraries with any interest in linguistics or anthropology.”  (Reference Reviews)

“This volume brings together 31 scholars in the field of linguistic anthropology and is aimed at offering an overview of the discipline’s key concepts and approaches.” (Pragmatics)

“Succeeds in doing exactly what it sets out to in a clear, concise and well-ordered fashion… a well thought out and comprehensive anthology that gives the reader a well-rounded introduction to linguistic anthropology… a must-have for any anthropologist’s bookshelf.” (Social Anthropology)
