This book presents an interdisciplinary approach to the scientific
study of the relation between language and society, language and
culture, language and mind. It integrates frameworks from
sociolinguistics and linguistic anthropology and emerging strands of
research on language and new media, in order to demonstrate how
language undergirds human thought and social behaviors. It is designed
as an introductory textbook aimed at students with little to no
background in linguistics. Each chapter covers the main aspects of a
particular topic or area of study, while also presenting future
avenues of study. This edition includes discussions on: ● social
media and the creation of identity; ● gestural communication; ●
emoji writing; ● multimodality; ● human-computer interaction.
Discussions are supported by a wealth of pedagogical features,
including sidebars, as well as activities, assignments, and a glossary
at the back. The overall aim is to demonstrate the dynamic connections
between language, society, thought, and culture, and how they continue
to evolve in today’s rapidly changing digital world. It is ideal for
students in introductory courses in sociolinguistics, language and
culture, and linguistic anthropology.
