What is "ethnolinguistics"?
Ethnolinguistics is the study of the relationship between language and ethnic groups. It examines how language reflects and shapes cultural identity, social interactions, and community values among different ethnic groups. Ethnolinguists explore how language use varies within cultural contexts and how it influences perceptions of identity and group membership. This field often involves fieldwork to understand how language functions in everyday life and how it relates to cultural practices, beliefs, and traditions within specific communities.
