Relative Points of View : Linguistic Representations of Culture Hardback
Edited by Magda Stroinska
Part of the Polygons: Cultural Diversities and Intersections series
Hardback
Description
The relationship between language and various kinds of non-linguistic behavior has been of great fascination for many of those working in the fields of cultural anthropology, linguistics, and philosophy, or, broadly understood, cultural studies.
The authors in this volume explore this relationship in a number of cultures and social contexts and discuss the problem of linguistic relativism and its application to several areas of social interaction across cultures.
The authors deal with such questions as how language and culture intersect resulting in different points of view on reality that are all equally authentic and rooted in experience.
The question of the influence of language and culture on our perceptino of physical and social reality is re-examined for such domains as politics, commerce, working with people, religion, and gender relations.
