""This book is a valuable contribution to the field of linguistic anthropology, sociolinguistics, and Southeast Asian studies. One of the book's many strengths is its decentering of European language ideologies about pronoun use that have long been privileged in linguistics.... Scholars interested in honorifics, (im)politeness, and hierarchy will learn much from this book.""-- ""Linguistic Anthropology"" ""The edited collection Signs of Deference, Signs of Demeanour is an important milestone in bringing the insights of linguistic ethnography into conversation with the field of Southeast Asian studies.... for those interested in Southeast Asian languages, if they are willing to make a little extra effort in order to grasp the theoretical architecture of the book, the case studies provide an excellent resource and entry point for examining in greater depth this crucial though understudied aspect of Southeast Asian languages.""-- ""Southeast Asian Studies""
