The Routledge Handbook of Language and Culture
presents a comprehensive survey of research on the relationship between language and culture. Now in its second edition, it has been fully revised to provide a clear and accessible introduction to both interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary studies in this research area.
This new edition addresses the relationship between language and culture from a variety of perspectives and theoretical frameworks. Organized into four parts, it covers major research traditions in the field, key theoretical approaches and concepts, methods and core topics in the study of the link between language and culture, and directions in applied domains, and brings together 36 carefully commissioned chapters. These cover topical areas including cognitive psychology, cognitive linguistics, cognitive anthropology, linguistic anthropology, cultural anthropology, and sociolinguistics, while tracing their historical development, contemporary theory, research, and practice. Building on Farzad Sharifian’s legacy, editors Wolf and Polzenhagen guide readers through emerging directions in the field, demonstrating how language and culture research can benefit applied areas such as intercultural communication, higher education, and translation.
Written by a group of prominent scholars from around the globe, The Routledge Handbook of Language and Culture 2e provides a vital resource for scholars and students working in this area.
