This volume examines the nature and significance of the reflexive
aspect of natural language, its capacity to represent its own
structure and use through reported speech and explicit statements
about language-use (metapragmatics). It adopts a truly
interdisciplinary approach. Part I contains papers outlining the
volume's theoretical scope. Parts II and III contain
anthropological case studies which show the formal devices behind
reflexive usage in a variety of different languages and how they
function in cultural life. Finally, Part IV shows the importance of
understanding reflexive language in many other areas of the
humanities and social sciences, including philosophy, psychology,
religious studies, sociology and literary studies. Many of the
contributors are senior scholars of international reputation: all
are innovative researchers. Cumulatively their work here represents
a critique of those researchers in the humanities and social
sciences who fail to take language seriously both in the lives of
those they study and in their own research practices.
