If you are interested in studying linguistic anthropology, be sure to visit our directory of linguistic anthropology programs. It explores the many ways in which practices of language use shape patterns of communication, formulate categories of social identity and group membership, organize large-scale cultural beliefs and ideologies, and, in conjunction with other semiotic practices, equip people with common cultural representations of their natural and social worlds. About About the Society for Linguistic Anthropology (SLA) Linguistic Anthropology is the comparative study of the ways in which language shapes social life.
