Product Review
"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
Product Description
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.
