La etnografia de la comunicación tiene que ver con cómo y por qué se utiliza una lengua y como su uso varía en culturas diferentes. En esta introducción actualmente estándar al tema, Muriel Saville-Troiike presenta los terminos y conceptos esenciales introducidos y desarrollados por Dell Hymes y otros y explora los hallazgos y aplicaciones mas salientes de la antropologia social y la sociolinguistica y utilizando ejemplos de muchos idiomas y diversas culturas, ella construye un modelo que incluye a las comunicaciones dentro del marco global de la competencia cultural. Esta segunda seccion ha sido exhaustivamente revisada para reflejar las contribuciones sustanciales efectuadas en años recientes al desarrollo y aplicacion del tema. El libro ahora incorpora una gama aun mayor de ejemplos e ilustraciones para analizar los patrones de los fenomenos comunicativos en los idiomas del mundo.

La psicología, junto a otras disciplinas como la sociología, la sociolingüística, la antropología, la filosofía, la historia social, etc., ofrece un marco teórico donde se pueden abrir foros y debati

There is widespread agreement that certain non-creole language varieties are structurally quite different from the European languages out of which they grew; however, until now, linguists have found difficulty in accounting for either their genesis or their synchronic structure. This study argues that the transmission of source languages from native to non-native speakers led to partial restructuring, whereby some of the source languages morphosyntax was retained, but a significant number of substrate and interlanguage features were also introduced. Comparing languages such as African-American English, Afrikaans and Brazilian Vernacular Portuguese, John Holm identifies the linguistic processes that lead to partial restructuring, bringing into focus a key span on the continuum of contact-induced language change which has not previously been analysed. Informed by the first systematic comparison of the social and linguistic facts in the development of these languages, this book will be welcomed by students of contact linguistics, sociolinguistics and anthropology.

In this magisterial new study, Peter Burke explores the social and cultural history of the languages spoken or written in Europe between the invention of printing and the French Revolution, arguing that, from a linguistic point of view, 1450 to 1789 should be regarded as a distinct period. One major theme of the book is the relation between languages and communities (regions, churches, occupations and genders as well as nations) and the place of language as a way of identifying others as well as a symbol of ones own identity. A second, linked theme is that of competition: between Latin and the vernaculars, between different vernaculars, dominant and subordinate, and finally between different varieties of the same vernacular, such as standard languages and dialects. Written by one of Europes leading cultural historians, this book restores the history of the many languages of Europe in a large variety of contexts.

Este libro es el fruto de un apasionado trabajo de campo en el prat de Llobregat. Por medio de la metáfora del bilingüismo y de la interacción con algunos de los habitantes de esta ciudad, la autora se propone explotar la temática de la identidad étnica entrelazada con la del lenguaje. todo en el marco de un mundo cambiante y postmoderno, donde la mezcla de culturas, idiomas e ideas contribuye a la creación de nuevas identidades, de las que todos somos partícipes.

Shortlisted for Katharine Briggs Folklore Award 2005. Drawing on a broad range of oral performances and literary records from Iceland, Ireland, Scotland, North America, Ghana, and Fiji, linguistic anthropologist and folklorist Richard Bauman presents a series of ethnographic case studies that offer an innovative and illuminating look at intertextuality as communicative practice. Bauman uses his introduction to lay a framework for the analysis of genre, performance, and intertextuality as discursive accomplishments. He goes on to examine the ways that performers blend genres and then explores how they manage intertextual links or gaps by aligning texts in discursive practice. Finally, Bauman draws together these threads and turns his insights to a critical consideration of ethnographic practice itself, bringing into reflexive awareness the ways that ethnography positions us in a world of others'' words. Drawing on his work in Iceland, Ireland, Scotland, North America, Ghana, and Fiji, linguistic anthropologist and folklorist Richard Bauman presents a series of ethnographic case studies that offer a sparkling look at intertextuality as communicative practice. A fascinating perspective on intertextuality: the idea that written and spoken texts speak to one another, e.g. through genre or allusions. Presents a series of ethnographic case studies to illustrate the topic. Draws on a broad range of oral performances and literary records from across the world. The author''s introduction sets a framework for the analysis of genre, perform and intertextuality. Shows how performers blend genres, e.g., telling stories about riddles or legends about magical verses, or constructing sales pitches.

Do you say gooseberries or goosegogs? Would you call someone hen, my luvver or me duck? Do you like to eat a cob, butty or just a plain sarnie? And do you know what a grockle is? Using material from the BBC''s ground-breaking Voices survey, Talking for Britain explores regional English in the twenty-first century, painting a vivid portrait of the British people and uncovering fascinating facts about local language. We may think that English is becoming homogenized as words such as chav and knackered spread across the country, but there is still surprising regional variation. How, for example, would you describe someone who is a bit moody? In Barrow-in-Furness, you might say that they are narky, while in the Midlands, they''re probably mardy. In Scotland, they might be crabbit, but in Northern Ireland, they could well be feeling distinctly thrawn. A fascinating and superbly browsable book, Talking for Britain proves that regional English is very much alive and well - and constantly changing.

Unspeak is language as a weapon. Every day, we are bombarded with those apparently simple words or phrases that actually conceal darker meanings. ''Climate change'' is less threatening than ''global warming' we say ''ethnic cleansing'' when we mean mass murder. As we absorb and repeat Unspeak we are accepting the messages that politicians, businessmen and military agencies wish us to believe. Operation Iraqi Freedom did more than put a positive spin on the American war with Iraq; it gave the invasion such a likeable name that the American news networks quickly adopted it as their tagline for reporting on the war. By repackaging the language we use to describe international affairs or domestic politics, Unspeak tries to make controversial issues unspeakable and, therefore, unquestionable. In this thought-provoking and important book, Steven Poole traces the globalizing wave of modern Unspeak from culture wars to the culture of war and reveals how everyday words are changing the way we think.
