The Interdisciplinary Linguistics series is a cohesive collection for linguistic research that falls outside the traditional bounds of sociolinguistics and applied linguistics. With the understanding that theoretical stances and ideas about human behavior can and do cross over disciplinary boundaries, the volumes in this series take full advantage of the fact that linguistics sits at the intersection of humanities and the social sciences. The series aims to present new connections and fresh viewpoints in order to contribute to the interdisciplinary inquiry into the nature of human language.

Understanding the evolution of language within the context of deep human history requires interdisciplinary work between linguists and scientists from a wide range of academic disciplines (e. g. archaeology, molecular biology, anthropology, genetics, biochemistry, etc.). The book aims to calibrate work on human evolution with current linguistic theory in an attempt to trace out a scientific story of how human language emerged and developed that has plausibility while remaining open to change through new linguistic and non-linguistic research.
Although negation has been extensively studied by philosophers, linguists, and psychologists, it remains an active area of inquiry across the language sciences. This dynamic and field-spanning volume contains a unique collection of papers by language scientists from a variety of disciplines. Readers will explore novel connections and gain insights into the nature of negation, one of the few uncontroversial universal elements of natural language.
Queer linguistics – in its position as both a linguistic science of and for queer folk – is inherently agitating to the disciplinary anxiety of a general linguistic science. It represents, as all queer science does, a disruption of the normative modes of knowledge production and a displacement of academic authority. This collection reconsiders the placement of the queer subject, both as the researcher and as the researched, within and beyond the discipline and provides an intellectual space for the interdisciplinary (and sometimes anti-disciplinary) linguistic science of gender and sexuality. In three sections, it respectively considers the development of hyper-speciated queer linguistic subfields, the interdisciplinarity of intersectional approaches to queer language, and the institution of queer linguistic science both within and beyond the academy. Taken together, the essays in this collection confront the scientific and institutional discipline of linguistics from a queer vantage point, one which is perhaps inherently interdisciplinary in its formulation.
This edited volume explores the scope of interdisciplinary linguistics and includes voices from scholars in different disciplines within the social sciences and humanities, as well as different sub-disciplines within linguistics. Chapters within this volume offer a range of perspectives on interdisciplinary studies, represent a connection between different disciplines, or demonstrate an application of interdisciplinarity within linguistics. The volume is divided into three sections: perspectives, connections, and applications.
Perspectives
The goal of this section is to address more generally the definition(s) of and value of multi-, trans-, and inter-disciplinary work. In what areas and for what purposes is there a need for work that crosses discipline boundaries? What are the challenges of undertaking such work? What opportunities are available?
Connections
This section features paired chapters written by scholars in different disciplines that discuss the same concept/idea/issue. For example, a discussion of how "assemblage" works in archaeology is paired with a discussion of how "assemblage" can be used to talk about ‘style’ in linguistics.
Applications
This section can be framed as sample answers to the question: What does interdisciplinarity look like?
