"Language is the very center of social interaction, the stuff out of which social relations are made. In Living Language, Laura Ahearn introduces us to a twenty-first-century linguistic anthropology, configured around a view of language as a material social activity, as something that people do, rather than as an abstract tool that they use. Living Language introduces a growing, vibrant area of study but also serves as an entryway for other social scientists into a rapidly changing field." - Bruce Mannehim, University of Michigan
