Abstract
As the history of sociolinguistics and linguistic anthropology shows, a sharp
distinction between these fields and others concerned with the sociocultural
investigation of language is untenable given their significant common ground.
The article describes the current state of relations between sociolinguistics,
linguistic anthropology, and similar approaches to language, culture, and
society. It then locates theoretical, methodological, thematic, and political points
of commonality and explores emerging areas of productive dialogue among
these closely overlapping research traditions. Two analytic examples, one
focused on race talk in sociolinguistic interviews with European American
youth and the other on ideologies of English among sexual and gender
minorities in India, illustrate the benefits of bringing together different branches
of sociolinguistics and linguistic anthropology.
