To what extent is it contextualized by other writing by the author and by the author’s immediate co-workers/collaborators/colleagues? To what extent do the analytical priorities and strategies reflect emphases developed in the area literature? 11. Language, culture, social relations For the author, what are the boundaries of “language” and “the linguistic”? How does the writer conceive the relationship between language and nonlinguistic aspects of culture and social relations? How is language conceived, and how is speaking linked to or distinguished from other aspects of social action? Is silence part of the object of study? 13. Fruitfulness **To what extent does the monograph advance a line of questioning such that either the evidence or the method can be used in other ethnographic settings? Does the work provide sufficient ethnographic richness that it could supply grist for a quite different analytical mill? Does the work inspire new and interesting questions about language and social life? Do you see it as intellectually consequential? **
