Zusammenfassung

Anthropological linguistics is concerned with the place of language in its social and cultural context. This book provides a review of research questions which span the disciplines of linguinitics and anthropology, yet presents a biologically based view of this cross-disciplinary field.

Anthropological Linguistics Zusammenfassung

Anthropological Linguistics: An Introduction William Foley (University of Sydney, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia)

It starts from a theoretical viewpoint of both language and culture as conventionalised forms of situated practice and uses this as a unifying framework to cover the full range of topics normally treated under the rubric of language and culture.

Anthropological Linguistics Bewertungen

Foley's book illustrates quite convincingly that 'Linguistics without anthropology is sterile, anthropology without linguistics is blind'(Hockett 1973: 675) Gunter Senft, Max-Planck-Institute for Psycholinguistics

I applaud Foley for having overcome one of the main constraints of structuralist - inspired approaches to analysis. Peter Muhlhausler, University of Adelaide
