Review by Jeff Richardson for Language, Culture, and Society: An Introduction to Linguistic Anthropology
Rating:
This textbook will give students a thorough overview of linguistic anthropology, but is often “dry” and long-winded. While the basic information is interesting and enlightening, the details are what detracts from what otherwise is a good text. Some of the information covering obscure languages and/or cultures goes into such lengthy detail that it’s worth skipping over and getting to the subject matter that really pertains to the subject you’re studying. As with many textbooks, the instructor may have had no choice in which book to use. In any case, if you have to buy this book, do so…but be prepared to skim over the chapters first and find what is pertinent to your individual class/instructor and what you need to know. I can only generously give this textbook three stars.
