Insights from Practices in Community-Based Research: From Theory To Practice Around The Globe (Trends in Linguistics. Studies and Monographs [TiLSM] Book 319)

__Free Access in January 2019__ There has been an increasing interest in the emerging subfield within linguistics and anthropology often referred to as community-based research (Himmelmann 1998, Rice 2010, Crippen and Robinson 2013, among others). This volume brings together perspectives from academics, community members, and those that find themselves in both academia and the community. The volume begins with a working definition of the notions of community-based research as a practice and illustrates how such notions shifted, without abandoning the outlined tenets within the working definition, as the chapters developed to include notions of community-based research as a tool and ideology as well as an orientation. Each of the 17 chapters represents a case-study with the first five including discussions of broader issues and theoretical perspectives while exploring community-based research as an emerging subfield within linguistics. The case-studies comprise work from the Americas, Australia, India, Europe, and Africa. The goal of the volume is to build on the emerging literature and practices in the field to arrive at a better understanding of how community-based research is theorized and practiced in a variety of environments, communities, and cultures.

"The present volume is meant to provide the starting of a framework for community-based research and offer insights into how community-based research is being implemented in communities around the world. The contributors present perspectives on how academics and community members are articulating community-based research for themselves and within the field."--Back cover
