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.;
TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS is a series of books that open new
perspectives in our understanding of language. The series publishes
state-of-the-art work on core areas of linguistics across
theoretical frameworks, as well as studies that provide new
insights by approaching language from an interdisciplinary
perspective. TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS considers itself a forum for
cutting-edge research based on solid empirical data on language in
its various manifestations, including sign languages. It regards
linguistic variation in its synchronic and diachronic dimensions as
well as in its social contexts as important sources of insight for
a better understanding of the design of linguistic systems and the
ecology and evolution of language. TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS publishes
monographs and outstanding dissertations as well as edited volumes,
which provide the opportunity to address controversial topics from
different empirical and theoretical viewpoints. High quality
standards are ensured through anonymous reviewing.
