Description
The Routledge Handbook of Linguistics offers a comprehensive reference point and introduction to the discipline of linguistics. This wide-ranging survey of the field brings together a range of perspectives, covering all the key areas of linguistics.
The second edition of this handbook has been completely revised and reorganised to feature 33 chapters with new authors representing diverse linguistic, geographical, multimodal and socio-demographic backgrounds. With the field of linguistics advancing rapidly, in concert with generational, social and technological changes, this handbook addresses key issues including:
* Language in the era of Big Data and Large Language Models (LLMs);
* Language in online and offline lives;
* Engagement with "decolonisation" and the impact of linguistics in wider society; and,
* Engagement with overlooked languages and modalities, especially sign languages.
Featuring a pair of chapters looking at the future of linguistics - theoretically, methodologically and practically - this handbook seeks to redefine the field for a new age and is essential reading for all students and academics with an interest in linguistics and language.
