Samenvatting

Nonhuman animals can be studied using sociolinguistic theories and observational methods, regardless of whether the focus is on statistical correlations between variation in sound production and social categories or on their embodied meaning-making practices and how power inequalities are shaped within these sets of relations. Findings in a more-than-human sociolinguistics will contribute to the broader field of animal communication and comparative linguistics, and to a deeper and more inclusive understanding of not only the agentivity of non-human animals but also of important notions in sociolinguistics like grammar, language, sociality, meaning-making, gender and sexuality, power dynamics, repertoire, and the observer’s paradox.
