Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 2nd Edition. xxiii, 580 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm. Summary:This is an anthropological study of language use in a contemporary Maya community. It examines the routine conversational practices in which Maya speakers make reference to themselves and to each other, to their immediate contexts, and to their world. Drawing on fieldwork in Oxkutzcab, Yucatan, the author develops a sociocultural approach to reference in natural languages. The core of this approach lies in treating speech as a social engagement and reference as a practice through which actors orient themselves in the world. The conceptual framework derives from cultural anthropology, linguistic pragmatics, interpretive sociology, and cognitive semantics. Seller Inventory # rxb226
