In this book, Andrew J. Strathern and Pamela J. Stewart delineate
the relationship between "language in particular" and "culture in
general" by focusing on language as both social practice and a
means of classifying and interpreting the world. A traditional
linguistic approach to a focus on language is illuminated by their
anthropological emphasis on the embodiment of relationships and
experience. In the book, the body is placed in the foreground for
understanding language in culture, which helps in turn to
understand how it enables us to adapt to the world of lived
material experience. Written in an accessible style and drawing on
an extensive corpus of primary field research from Papua New
Guinea, Samoa, Japan, Taiwan, Scotland, and Ireland, Strathern and
Stewart present a world anthropology which links together European,
North American, and Asia-Pacific approaches to the topic. Students
and scholars alike of sociocultual anthropology, linguistic
anthropology, and linguistics will benefit from this engaging work
on how the various components of our culture are informed and
shaped through language.
