本期特刊关注的是英国一个新兴的工作领域（与欧洲和美国有着密切的联系），该领域自称为“语言人种学”。Rampton的第一篇文章盘点了这一领域的最新发展，然后与社会科学领域的同事展开了辩论。这个问题有很强的跨学科的味道，既来自语言人种学本身的本质，也来自其他贡献者所代表的学科视角的范围，Rampton称之为“跨学科领域”。因此，Ron和Suzie Scollon夫妇以美国语言人类学家的长期经验写作，Lukas Tsitsipis作为南欧的语言人类学家写作，Alison Sealey有应用语言学的背景，对社会现实主义有着浓厚的兴趣，Margaret Wetherell来自话语心理学和正在进行的身份研究。这些不是语言民族志的集合。相反，贡献者是从他们自己的学科立场来回应语言民族志的倡议，建立更广泛的联系，引起人们对被忽视的问题的关注，并经常用他们自己的数据来说明。一些人对语言学与民族志结合的一些方面提出了严格的问题。最后，两位讨论者，Jan Blommaert和Martyn Hammersley，从他们各自的人类学和社会学角度，对论文中的特定主题进行了评论。
This Special Issue1 focuses on an emerging area of work in the UK (with strong links in Europe and the US) which calls itself ‘linguistic ethnography’. The first article by Rampton takes stock of recent developments in this area and debate is then opened up with colleagues across the social sciences. The issue has a strong interdisciplinary flavour, deriving both from the nature of linguistic ethnography itself, which Rampton introduces as an ‘interdisciplinary region’, and from the range of disciplinary perspectives represented by the other contributors. Thus, Ron and Suzie Scollon write from long experience as US linguistic anthropologists and Lukas Tsitsipis as a linguistic anthropologist in southern Europe, Alison Sealey from a background in applied linguistics and a close interest in sociological realism, and Margaret Wetherell from discursive psychology and ongoing research on identity. These are not a collection of linguistic ethnographies. Rather, contributors are responding to the linguistic ethnography initiative from their own disciplinary positions, making wider connections, drawing attention to neglected issues and often illustrating with data of their own. Some raise stringent questions about aspects of combining linguistics with ethnography. Finally, two discussants, Jan Blommaert and Martyn Hammersley, pick up and comment on particular themes in the papers from their respective perspectives in anthropology and sociology.
