| Publisher Description: Describes the speech behavior of the Western Subanon people (southwestern Mindanao, Philippines) in formal situations such as ceremonies or litigation. Makes a distinction between the study of language as an autonomous entity and studies of language used in cultural contexts. Assumes that linguistic structure, social structure, and linguistic behavior within the social context is patterned and systematic. Discusses formal situation, interchange dynamics, and patterns of poetry. Includes five texts with gloss and free translation. |
