Beschreibungen

This is volume II of &quote;Coral Gardens and Their Magic&quote;, dealing with Kilivila terms related to gardening and agriculture. Kilivila is the language spoken on the Trobriand islands, a group of islands off the east cost of New Guinea. This volume will appeal to those with an interest in anthropology and Trobriand culture, and it would make for a fantastic addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: &quote;Language as Tool, Document, and Cultural Reality&quote;, &quote;The Translation of Untranslatable words&quote;, &quote;The Context of Words and the Context of Facts&quote;, &quote;Th e Pragmatic Setting of Utterances&quote;, &quote;Meaning as Function of Words&quote;, &quote;The Sources of Meaning in the Speech of Infants&quote;, &quote;Gaps, Gluts and Vagaries of a Native Terminology&quote;, etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
