The Structural Study of Myth and Totemism
Author: Edmund LeachPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135032947
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
Designed to provoke controversy, the papers in this volume concentrate on two main themes: the study of myth and totemism. Starting with an English translation of La Geste d'Asdiwal, which is widely considered to be the most brilliant of all of Lévi-Strauss's shorter expositions of his technique of myth analysis, the volume also contains criticism of this essay. The second part of the volume discusses how far Lévi-Strauss's treatment of totemism as a system of category formation can be correlated with the facts that an ethnographer encounters in the field. First published in 1967.
Ergativity in Coast Tsimshian (Sm'algya̲x)
Author: Jean Gail MulderPublisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 9780520097889
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
00 This work examines the morphological and syntactic dimensions of ergativity (i.e., an intransitive subject is treated in the same manner as a transitive object and differently from the transitive subject) in Coast Tsimshian (Sm'algyax). This language is very highly morphologically ergative and the distribution of ergativity is conditioned by several different factors that are related through their coding of transitivity. Syntactically, the language is not highly ergative, but none of the cross-linguistic definitions of subject can account for the ergativity that does exist.
