For four previous editions, professors have turned to Zdenek Salzmann’s Language, Culture, and Society for its comprehensive coverage of all critical aspects of linguistic anthropology, as well as for its student-friendly pedagogy. New coauthors James Stanlaw and Nobuko Adachi join Salzmann in revising this classic text. With extensive updates and expanded discussions of fundamental issues in the field, the fifth edition continues to be the essential teaching text for the introductory linguistic anthropology course.The fifth edition features three new chapters on language and thought, language and ideology, and language in a globalized world, as well as expanded consideration of the role of linguistics as a key subfield of anthropology.

Roy Wagner, having turned “culture” and “symbols” inside out (in The Invention of Culture and Symbols That Stand for Themselves, respectively), now does the same for the “subject” and subjectivity. In studying the human subject and the way human culture mirrors itself, Wagner has redefined holography as “the exact equivalence, or comprehensive identity, of part and whole in any human contingency.”
