LANGUAGE IN CULTURE & SOCIETY:

A Reader In Linguistics & Anthropology

Edited By Dell Hymes

Foreword by A.L. Kroeber

New York: Harper & Row Publishers, 1964.

First edition.

A well researched language study that shows cultural and cross-cultural sources and influences that effected language in numerous areas around the world.

This comprehensive work on language and linguistics focuses on anthropological origins that are rich in cross-cultural content, on methodology in semantics, on social variations in speech, and includes material on verbal art and language change.

Words, phrases, sources, oral poets, expressive speech, slang, pitch, sounds, language merging, the melting pot, and regional differences are all examined.

Enhanced with figures, and phonetic and vocalization symbols.

A timeless language classic.

Quite Nice.

Just a hint of rubbing to the upper and lower spine edges, else very nearly fine in fresh rose-red linen with gilt embossed titles to the front cover, and with black embossed titles and gilt embossed decorations to the spine; in a price-clipped, else fine dust jacket.

Unusual in such nice condition in dust jacket.

Large octavo; 764 pages; bibliography; index of references; index of authors; index to topical bibliographies; index of language names.
