Comp Ency Anthropology
Author: Tim IngoldPublisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000443132
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 1162
Book Description
This comprehensive survey of contemporary thought in biological, social and cultural anthropology sets the foundation for their future development and integration. The principal rationale behind the Encyclopedia is to overcome the division and fragmentation within the approaches of the humanities and natural sciences to anthropology. It emphasizes interconnections between perspectives and sub-disciplines, producing a complete perspective on what it means to be human. The work consists of three parts--Humanity, Culture, and Social Life--and 40 major contributions. Part One emphasizes human beings as members of a species, how that species differs from others, how it has evolved, and how human populations have adapted to and in turn transformed their environments. Part Two deals with the origin and structure of human culture, and on the role of culture in action, perception, and cognition. Part Three examines the various aspects of the relationships and processes that are carried on by persons and groups in the course of social life. Useful features such as cross-references within the text, full biographical references, suggestions for further reading and carefully illustrated line drawings make this an indispensable resource for all students of anthropology or sociology.
Pragmatic Variation in First and Second Language Contexts
Author: J. César Félix-BrasdeferPublisher: John Benjamins Publishing
ISBN: 9027273278
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
Departing from Schneider and Barron (2008), representing the emerging field of Variational Pragmatics, this volume examines pragmatic variation focusing on methods utilized to collect and analyze data in a variety of first (L1) and second (L2) language contexts. The objectives are to: (1) examine variation in such areas of pragmatics as speech acts, conventional expressions, metapragmatics, stance, frames, mitigation, communicative action, (im)politeness, and implicature; and (2) critically review central methodological concerns relevant for research in pragmatic variation, such as coding, ethical issues, qualitative and quantitative methods, and individual variation. Theoretical frameworks vary from variationist and interactional sociolinguistics, to variational pragmatics. This collection contains eleven chapters by leading scholars, including two state-of-the art chapters on key methodological issues of pragmatic variation study. Given the theoretical perspectives, methodological focus, and analyses, the book will be of interest to those who study pragmatics, discourse analysis, second language acquisition, sociolinguistics, corpus linguistics, and language variation.
How Do We Know? Applyimg Theories and Methods for Anthropology

Pages : 484
Book Description
Cyril Belshaw likes to explore outside the box. He has been called "the anthropologist of anthropology". He has been told "You are not really an anthropologist." Whether or not such statements are accurate, he does like to find new paths so that often his contributions appear away from the main roads of publication. Thus in the hopes of stimulating discussion, perhaps mew applications, and debate amongst graduate students and colleagues alike he has brought some of them together here. He is now approaching his nineties so that some of his ideas date back as far as the 'forties while some follow is retirement. The ethnographic base for his theoretical constructs and explanations is derived from the Pacific Islands, Canadian society, Switzerland, and widespread travels, influenced by the belief that a major objective of anthropology is to use explanation to improve the world.
Svay
Author: May Mayko EbiharaPublisher: Cornell University Press

Category : History

Pages : 364
Book Description
May Mayko Ebihara (1934–2005) was the first American anthropologist to conduct ethnographic research in Cambodia. Svay provides a remarkably detailed picture of individual villagers and of Khmer social structure and kinship, agriculture, politics, and religion. The world Ebihara described would soon be shattered by Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge. Fifty percent of the villagers perished in the reign of terror, including those who had been Ebihara's adoptive parents and grandparents during her fieldwork. Never before published as a book, Ebihara’s dissertation served as the foundation for much of our subsequent understanding of Cambodian history, society, and politics.
