239774 Introduction to Anthropological Linguistics (S) (SoSe 2013)

Contents, comment

The interdisciplinary field of anthropological linguistics tries to accommodate and mediate between linguistic phenomena and their cultural correlates. We will employ a wide notion of culture that involves contexts of ethos as well as environment, i.e. sociological, biological and geographical factors feed into phenomena of the emergence of linguistic features under circumstances not limited to, but conveniently explainable with, cultural facts. The discussion will have a strong semantic component that involves conceptualization of object boundaries, space dimensions and directionality in space and time on the one hand and color terms, deixis effects, diminutives and hedge constructions on the other. Evidence will come from varieties of English. Furthermore, We will try to develop insight and opinions in this debated area.
