Zoltan Koevecses, Eoetvoes Lorand University, Hungary As the world becomes increasingly globalised, it's extremely important for people in many different fields to gain a deeper understanding of the interrelationship between language and culture. This Handbook provides a wonderfully broad-ranging and stimulating exploration of this complex field and is likely to become an important reference source for all those working in this area. Helen Spencer-Oatey, University of Warwick, UK The publisher's copy recommends the Routlege Handbook of Language and Culture as `a vital resource for scholars and students interested in language and culture'. That it certainly is. The coverage is broad and there is much of immediate practical use.
