International Encyclopedia of Linguistic Anthropology
Benedict, Ruth
Ruth Benedict (1887–1948) is one of the most famous anthropologists of the mid‐twentieth century. She is recognized as a founder of the “culture and personality” school of American anthropology, which was largely predicated upon, and influenced by, linguistics
Implicational Universal
An implicational universal is a claim expressed in the conditional form If A then B , where A and B are a properties of a language
Dundes, Alan
Alan Dundes (1934–2005) was one of the most important anthropologists in the last half of the twentieth century in the field of folklore – broadly defined. In this more than 40‐year career, his work influenced scholarship in anthropology, linguistics, literary studies, and almost every discipline that was involved in some kind of language research
Tense
Tense refers to the grammatical devices a language uses to describe temporal relationships
Conklin, Harold
Harold Conklin (1926–2016) was an early proponent of the study of folk classification, cognition, and a type of formal semantic analysis in anthropology called ethnoscience, ethnosemantics, or componential analysis. He made major contributions to cognitive anthropology, the study of kinship, color nomenclature theory, and the ethnography, ethnobotany, and agricultural ecology of the Philippines
Click Obstruent Sounds
Click obstruent sounds refer to the non‐pulmonic expressions of air found in many languages in South Africa and parts of East Africa. They have theoretical import because they have been used in discussions of the origin and evolution of language
Jespersen, Otto
The Danish linguist Otto Jespersen (1860–1943) was one of the most influential language scholars in both Europe and America before World War II. His range of interests was truly catholic, covering everything from philology to sociolinguistics. Among language‐and‐gender scholars, however, he is most well known today for his provocative chapter on “The Woman,” in his widely popular book Language , which continues to incite controversy and argument
Nida, Eugene
Eugene Nida (1914–2011) is widely regarded today as the founder of modern Bible translating, but he also made important contributions to theories of translation in general as well as language pedagogy. He is most well known for two basic orientations in translating: formal equivalence and dynamic equivalence
Americanist System of Transcription
The Americanist system of transcription – sometimes called the North American Phonetic Alphabet (NAPA) – is one of two major orthographies used to reduce languages to a universal writing system presumably known by all language scholars. But historically the goals of the American system and its competitor, the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), were somewhat different, resulting in some incongruities in their respective notations
Benveniste, Émile
Émile Benveniste (1902–1976) was one of the most influential Indo‐Europeanists of the twentieth century, bringing in many key insights from semiotics and structuralism to this previously highly philological discipline. Though writing mostly in French, he also anticipated several critical notions in English‐language linguistics, including Chomsky's critique of behaviorism and theories of denotation and pragmatics (such as deixis and indexicality)
Turner, Lorenzo Dow
Lorenzo Dow Turner (1890–1972) has been called the first African American linguist, and founder of Gullah studies. He helped establish linguistics and the field of dialect geography in the United States before World War II
Number, Grammatical
Grammatical number refers to how a language formally expresses distinctions between the items referred to in a sentence (e.g. the plural ‐s in English meaning “more than one”)
Peirce, Charles Sanders
Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914) was an important and very influential late nineteenth‐ and early twentieth‐century American semiotician, philosopher, and mathematician. He is regarded as one of the founders of both semiotics and pragmatism
Particle, Grammatical
Grammatical particles are words or morphemes that, when present, reflect relationships among the different parts of a sentence
Voice, Grammatical
Grammatical voice describes the relationship between the subject of a sentence and its verb. Active and passive voices are the most commonly discussed
Meter
The term “meter” can be used in two ways. First, by definition, it can be used to label the formal features that “mark poetic texts against ordinary discourse.” Second, it can refer to actual prosodic features, like the pulse and rhythm of some discourse
Cognitive Anthropology
Cognitive anthropology is the area of anthropology that focuses on the study of human cognition in its cultural context. As much of thought and conceptualization is connected to language – and in a variety of complex ways – there is often much overlap between the work of linguistic anthropologists and cognitive anthropologists. Cognitive anthropology also sees itself as part of the burgeoning field of cognitive science
Color and Color Nomenclature
Color naming has been a critical area of research in anthropology, linguistics, psychology, and cognitive science for over a century, largely because it is an area where potentially empirical experiments and fieldwork can shed light on the complex relationships between language, thought, and culture – not the least important being the nature vs. nurture debate. However, as Dedrick writes “[v]irtually every element of this research tradition is co…
Humboldt, Wilhelm von
Wilhelm von Humboldt (1767–1835) was an important nineteenth‐century linguist who anticipated many advances in structural linguistics, sociolinguistics, linguistic relativity, and the philosophy of language
Computational Linguistics
The interdisciplinary field of computational linguistics is the scientific study of language involving computers – either using computers, or examining language from a computational perspective (e.g. modeling natural language using computer representations, machine translation, text data mining, speech synthesis)
Sapir, Edward
Edward Sapir (1884–1939) was one of the early seminal founders of linguistic anthropology. He continues to be widely known for his contributions to culture theory, Americanist linguistics, the development of phonemics, linguistic relativity, and the Sapir–Whorf hypothesis. As was said in one memoir, “There is probably no North American linguist or anthropologist today who does not respect, even revere, the name of Edward Sapir.”
Meillet, Antoine
Antoine Meillet (1866–1936) was the preeminent Indo‐Europeanist of the first half of the twentieth century, and a major theoretician of comparative historical linguistics. He brought in a sociolinguistic perspective to the previous “Neogrammarian” approach to philology, claiming we had to go beyond the mere examination of regular sound changes in establishing language and cultural relationships
From Brightness to Hue
Disorderly Discourse
Conflict plays a crucial role in social interactions, and representations of conflict are an important aspect of language. Stories and narratives involving everything from war to playground disputes generate, sustain, mediate, and represent conflict at all levels of social organization. Still, despite the vast amount of research on conflict and narrative in a number of disciplines, no one has yet examined how these play off of each other; in fact…
Japanese and English
This paper describes the two kinds of English extant in Japan today. These are 'Japanized English,' based on the use of English loanwords spoken by Japanese among themselves, and 'the Japanese variety of English,' spoken as a second language with foreigners. It is argued that these varieties have their origins in three lines of linguistic contact between Japan and the West (particularly America and Britain) during the past century: a line of pidg…
Color and Cognition on Mesoamerica
More than 100 indigenous languages are spoken in Mexico and Central America. Each language partitions the color spectrum according to a pattern that is unique in some way. But every local system of color categories also shares characteristics with the systems of other Mesoamerican languages and of languages elsewhere in the world. This book presents the results of the Mesoamerican Color Survey, which Robert E. MacLaury conducted in 1978-1981. Dra…
