Regimes of Language: Ideologies, Polities, and Identities (School for Advanced Research Advanced Seminar Series) - Hardcover
Synopsis
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. Moving beyond a preoccupation with ideologies of cultural "others," the volume includes reflexive analyses of European language philosophy and historical linguistics, US academic ideologies of language, political discourses by US journalists and elite image advisors, and the impact of Christian missionaries on indigenous peoples in the Papua New Guinea highlands.

Review
... both advances the theoretical framework available to students of language ideology and offers a variety of points of entry to that literature for scholars generally interested in institutional power structures.impossible to study language phenomena without considering political assumptions and their consequences. The University is directly implicated in these dilemmas, of course, and books like this one should help Academia to define and modify its position ona continuum ranging from ivory tower to ntellectual bridge : Regimes of Language could, therefore, be profitably prescribed as early reading for students in the humanities and the social sciences.' - Patrick C. Douaud in Anthropos
