Folk knowledge of language has not engaged linguists very often in
the history of that field. Introductory texts often disparage
folkbelief in contrast to 'scientific truth'. In fact, language is
a ubiquitous topic of discussion and general concern of the folk.
They talk about grammar, pronunciation, first and second language
learning, language disabilities, dialects, gender and language, and
a host of other topics. This book approaches such beliefs as one of
the most important aspects of ethnography. Surely what a people
believe about their language is as important as any other key to an
understanding of their culture.;
