"As the world becomes increasingly globalised, it's extremely important for people in many different fields to gain a deeper understanding of the interrelationship between language and culture. This Handbook provides a wonderfully broad-ranging and stimulating exploration of this complex field and is likely to become an important reference source for all those working in this area."

"This volume is an essential addition to any collection focusing on the relationship between language and culture. It is broad in its coverage of a wide range of disciplines such as applied linguistics, anthropology, sociology, cognitive science and so on; yet each chapter is detailed, scholarly and thorough, written by recognised experts in their respective fields...this is an exceptional collection of carefully selected chapters that shed light on a wide range of connected themes and that inspires further research into the complex interphase between culture and language: a must-read for anyone interested in this fascinating topic."
