The Anthropology of Language : An Introduction to Linguistic Anthropology Workbook/Reader - Softcover

"The writing style is one of the greatest strengths of this book. The author hits all the key terms needed for an introductory linguistic anthropology course, and her writing style is accessible, engaging, and at times quite humorous. I especially appreciate her ability to inject humor into some rather dry structural linguistic topics." "I find Ottenheimer's The Anthropology of Language an extremely useful textbook as a very accessible introduction to linguistic anthropology for lower-division undergraduates. Its range and depth strikes a good balance for those first being introduced to an anthropological approach to language."

This notebook-sized workbook/reader offers illuminating classic and contemporary readings that provide additional information on, and insight into, the basic concepts covered in Ottenheimer's text. Exercises and guided projects provide numerous opportunities for you to develop and hone your skills. A series of exercises drawn from a single language is designed to show you the interconnectedness of different levels of analysis. Web exercise sections conclude with pointers to the Anthropology CourseMate website, where you will find glossary flashcards, interactive exercises, links to relevant additional websites, study questions, and key words to guide you as you study. Furthermore, the book's pages are perforated, allowing you to easily remove specific exercises and submit them to your instructor.
