First published in 1974, this collection of classic case studies in
the ethnography of speaking had a formative influence on the field.
No other volume has so successfully provided a broad,
cross-cultural survey of the use, role and function of language and
speech in social life. The essays deal with traditional societies
in Native North, Middle, and South America, Africa, and Oceania, as
well as English, French, and Yiddish speaking communities in Europe
and North America and Afro-American communities in North America
and the Caribbean. Now reissued, the collection includes a key
introduction by the editors that traces the subsequent development
of the ethnography of speaking and indicates directions for future
research. The theoretical and methodological concepts and
perspectives that illuminated the first edition are recognized anon
and valued by many disciplines beyond that of linguistic
anthropology. Scholars and students whose backgrounds may be in
literature, speech communication, performance studies or
ethnomusicology will equally welcome this edition.
