Power Sharing: Language, Rank, Gender and Social Space in Pohnpei, Micronesia: Oxford Studies in Anthropological Linguistics, cartea 23

Autor Elizabeth Keating
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 7 ian 1999
What allows certain individuals and groups to maintain control over the actions and lives of others? Linguistic anthropologist Elizabeth Keating went to the island of Pohnpei, in Micronesia, and studied how people use language and other semiotic codes to reproduce and manipulate status differences. The result is this inside view of how language works to create power and social inequality. This book challenges widely held theories on the nature of social stratification, including women's roles in creating hierarchy.
