The series Handbooks of Linguistics and Communication Science is designed to illuminate a field which not only includes general linguistics and the study of linguistics as applied to specific languages, but also covers those more recent areas which have developed from the increasing body of research into the manifold forms of communicative action and interaction.

This handbook undertakes a systematic historical reflection on cultural science gaps in linguistics, and seeks to contribute to their resolution. How can linguistics be a cultural science? Answering this question requires the use of methodological resources in linguistics as well as outside perspectives drawn from related disciplines.
