Abstract
John J. Gumperz was a founding figure of sociolinguistics and an important contributor to the development of linguistic anthropology in the 20th century. This article traces not his past but his present and future, exploring four themes that he inaugurated and that have had a shaping influence on the dual fields in which he was active. The themes are: approaches to ethnographic evidence; social and linguistic differentiation; speech practices in history; culture and contextualization.
