Leaders in the theory and practice of contemporary linguistic anthropology are well represented, and all of the articles are excellent; indeed, most are recognized as contemporary \"classics\" in the field. This reader is an excellent addition to the growing library of readers in linguistic anthropology and a valuable new resource for both students and teachers.\" (\u003ci\u003eCurrent Anthropology\u003c\/i\u003e [from 1st edition]) \u003cp\u003e\"Many of the articles included...are examples of highly innovative scholarly work on issues of language related to culture. It provides an excellent (and long overdue) discussion of terminology, American lingustic anthropology's development within Cultural Anthropology, its subsequent drift away from anthropology towards an independent discipline increasingly focused on theoretical anthropologists in the late 1960s, and its reestablishment as a subfield of anthropology in the 1980s-90s. As a textbook this reader makes a very useful teaching aid, as a source book it provides valuable insights into the discipline of linguistic anthropology.\" (\u003ci\u003eLinguist List\u003c\/i\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlessandro Duranti\u003c\/b\u003e is Distinguished Professor of Anthropology and Dean of Social Sciences at UCLA.

The readings are both historically oriented and thematically coherent, and are grouped according to four themes: speech community and communicative competence; the performance of language; language socialization and literacy practices; and the power of language.
