For research in linguistic anthropology, the successful execution of research projects is a challenging but essential task. Balancing research design with data collection methods, this textbook guides readers through the key issues and principles of the core research methods in linguistic anthropology.Designed for students conducting research projects for the first time, or for researchers in need of a primer on key methodologies, this book provides clear introductions to key concepts, accessible discussions of theory and practice through illustrative examples, and critical engagement with current debates. Topics covered include creating and refining research questions, planning research projects, ethical considerations for research, quantitative and qualitative data collection methods, data processing, data analysis, and how to write a successful grant application. Each chapter is illustrated by cases studies which showcase methods in practice, and are supported by activities and exercises, discussion questions, and further reading lists. Research Methods in Linguistic Anthropology is an essential resource for both experienced and novice linguistic anthropologists and is a valuable textbook for research methods courses.

"Fort de sa triple culture - africaine, française et américaine -, Souleymane Bachir Diagne s'interroge sur la traduction dans ce texte engagé et humaniste, porteur d'une éthique. Si la traduction manifeste le plus souvent une relation de profonde inégalité entre langues dominantes et langues dominées, elle peut aussi être source de dialogue, d'échanges, de métissage, y compris dans des situations d'asymétrie, propres notamment à l'espace colonial, où l'interprète, de simple auxiliaire, devient un véritable médiateur culturel. Faire l'éloge de la traduction, « la langue des langues », c'est célébrer le pluriel de celles-ci et leur égalité ; car traduire, c'est donner dans une langue hospitalité à ce qui a été pensé dans une autre, c'est créer de la réciprocité, de la rencontre, c'est faire humanité ensemble, c'est en quelque sorte imaginer une Babel heureuse. La question de la traduction, de l'universel et du pluriel, est au coeur de l'oeuvre de Souleymane Bachir Diagne, l'une des voix africaines contemporaines les plus respectées. Il a notamment publié, chez Albin Michel, 'En quête d'Afrique(s) : universalisme et pensée décoloniale', coécrit avec Jean-Loup Amselle (2018)."

The Eastern Himalaya holds perhaps the highest levels of ethnolinguistic diversity in all Eurasia, with over 300 languages spoken by as many distinct cultural groups. What factors can explain such diversity? How did it evolve, and what can its analysis teach us about the prehistory of its wider region? This pioneering interdisciplinary volume brings together a diverse group of linguists and anthropologists, all of whom seek to reconstruct aspects of Eastern Himalayan ethnolinguistic prehistory from an empirical standpoint, on the basis of primary fieldwork-derived data from a diverse range of Himalayan Indigenous languages and cultural practices. Contributors are: David Bradley, Scott DeLancey, Toni Huber, Gwendolyn Hyslop, Linda Konnerth, Ismael Lieberherr, Yankee Modi, Stephen Morey, Mark W. Post, Uta Reinöhl, Alban Stockhausen, Amos Teo, and Marion Wettstein.

Introduction to Cognitive Ethnography and Systematic Field Work by G. Mark Schoepfle and Oswald Werner provides a guide to the fundamentals of cognitive ethnography for qualitative research. A focus of this technique is collecting data from flexible but rigorous interviews. These interviews are flexible because they are designed to be structured around the semantic knowledge being elicited from the speaker, not around some pre-conceived design that is based on the researcher’s background, and they are rigorous because the basic linguistic and semantic structures are shared among all cultures. Written by two of the founders of this technique, this text provides a wealth of concentrated knowledge developed over years to best suit this collaborative and participant-centric research process.Eight chapters show how intertwined data collection and analysis are in this method. The first chapter offers a brief history and overview of the cognitive ethnography. Chapter 2 covers planning a research project, from developing a research question to ethics and IRB requirements. The next two chapters cover interview background, techniques, and structures. Chapter 5 addresses analysis while Chapter 6 covers transcription and translation. Chapter 7 covers observation, while a final chapter address writing a report for both consultants and outside audiences.

This book presents an original empirical study on the linguistic repertoires of post-2008 Italian migrants living in London. The author interrogates how migrants’ trajectories and their relation with their homeland’s migration history are displayed through the engagement of new multilingual practices, such as translanguaging, and how new identities are negotiated during conversational acts. The book will be of interest to students and scholars of Sociolinguistics and Migration Studies. Giulia Pepe is a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Westminster, UK.
