Plastic Glasses and Church Fathers: Semantic Extension from the Ethnoscience Tradition
ISBN: 9780195094077 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Meaning seems to shift from context to context; how do we know when someone says "grab a chair" that an ottoman or orange crate will do, but when someone says "let's buy a chair," they won't? In Plastic Glasses and Church Fathers, Kronenfeld offers a theory that explains both the usefulness of language's variability of reference and the mechanisms which enable us to understand each other in spite of the variability. Kronenfeld's theory, rooted in the tradition of ethnoscience (or cognitive anthropology), accomplishes three things. First, it distinguishes prototypic referents from...

Culture as a System: How We Know the Meaning and Significance of What We Do and Say
ISBN: 9781138289185 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 134 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. A particular culture is associated with a particular community, and thus has a social dimension. But how does culture operate and how is it to be defined? Is it to be taken as the behavioral repertoire of members of that community, as the products of their behavior, or as the shared mental content that produces the behavior? Is it to be viewed as a coherent whole or only a collection of disparate parts? Culture is shared, but how totally? How is culture learned and maintained over time, and how does it change? A particular culture is associated with a particular community, and thus has a social dimension. But how does culture operate and how is it to be d... |

Plastic Glasses & Church Fathers: Semantic Extension from the Ethnoscience Tradition
ISBN: 9780195094084 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Meaning seems to shift from context to context; how do we know when someone says "grab a chair" that an ottoman or orange crate will do, but when someone says "let's buy a chair," they won't? Somehow, in spite of this slipperiness, we usually understand each other in conversations, and have straightforward ways of querying each other when we sense a gap in understanding. We seem capable of using ordinary language to communicate with as much precision as we are willing to take the time and effort for--through attention to interactive feedback, and the use of paraphrastic modification,...

Fanti Kinship and the Analysis of Kinship Terminologies
ISBN: 9780252033704 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book examines Fanti kinship terminology from a variety of analytic and formal perspectives. Based on work with a broad number of informants, David B. Kronenfeld details and analyzes internal variation in usage within the Fanti community, shows the relationship between terminology and social groups and communicative usage, and relates these findings to major theoretical work on kinship and on the intersections of language, thought, and culture. Including computational and comparative studies of kinship terminologies, this volume represents the fullest analysis of any kinship...

Culture, Society, and Cognition: Collective Goals, Values, Action, and Knowledge
ISBN: 9783110206074 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 291 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This theoretically motivated approach to pragmatics (vs. semantics) produces a radically new view of culture and its role vis-a-vis society. Understanding what words mean in use requires an open-ended recourse to pragmatic cultural knowledge. Cultural knowledge makes up a productive conceptual system. Members of a cultural community share the system but not all of the system's content, making culture a system of parallel distributed cognition. This book presents such a system, and then elaborates a version of "cultural models" that relates actions to goals, values, emotional content, and...
