Every language carries a unique imprint of the society that speaks it, reflecting the relationships between speakers, their beliefs, and their worldviews, as well as various aspects of their social environment, livelihoods, and geographical characteristics. The chapters in this volume draw upon data from diverse languages spoken in Australia, New Guinea, South America, Asia, and Africa, including Dyirbal and Idi, Chamacoco, Ayoreo, Murui, and Tariana, Japanese, Brokpa, and Dzongkha, and Iraqw. These chapters examine the ways in which the grammar of a language is intertwined with societal practices, shedding light on the complex relationship between language and culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe volume begins with a comprehensive introduction that provides a summary of the key issues related to the integration of language and society. Subsequent chapters delve into specific areas of integration, exploring honorifics, genders and classifiers, possessives, evidentiality, comparatives, and demonstratives, among other linguistic features. The findings presented in this book contribute to our understanding of how non-linguistic traits manifest in language and how these traits evolve alongside societal changes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume is an invaluable resource for scholars and students engaged in typology, cultural and linguistic anthropology, sociolinguistics, and social sciences more broadly. It offers a comprehensive examination of the grammar of language in relation to society, providing insights into the complex dynamics that shape linguistic and cultural phenomena.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 748g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 164 x 241 x 29 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780192845924                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44100530831610,"sku":"9780192845924","price":131.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/c1ca2aa7c4dc5580f795a4d9834c40bd.jpg?v=1638329317","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/integration-of-language-and-society-a-cross-linguistic-typology","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
