Regimes of Language: Ideologies, Polities, and Identities

By Paul V. Kroskrity, Richard Bauman, Charles Briggs, et al.

Book Overview

In Regimes of Language, ten leading linguistic anthropologists integrate two often segregated domains: politics (without language) and language (without politics). Their essays contribute to an understanding of the role of language ideologies and discursive practices in state formation, nationalism, and the maintenance of ethnic groups, on the one hand, and in the creation of national, ethnic, and professional identities, on the other.
