Summary:

"This ground-breaking volume brings together chapters from leading scholars who take a linguistic ethnographic approach to research. The first of its kind, the book aims to showcase work which situates itself in linguistic ethnography to provide insights into the methodological and theoretical concerns of this emerging field. Covering a range of contexts from health to journalism, from education to the workplace, the book demonstrates the reach and influence of linguistic ethnography. It will be essential reading for researchers and students interested in knowing more about linguistic ethnography and how it facilitates parts of the research process other approaches fail to reach"-- Provided by publisher.
