Utility of Meaning

Auteur: Enfield, N. J. (Professor of Linguistics, Professor of Linguistics, University of Sydney)
Editeur: Oxford University Press
This book argues that the complex, anthropocentric, and often culture-specific meanings of words have been shaped directly by their history of 'utility' for communication in social life, and explores relations between language, communication, culture, and mind. It contains extensive data from the author's fieldwork on language and culture in Laos.
