Relatively Speaking: Language, Thought, and Kinship among the Mopan Maya - описание и краткое содержание, автор Danziger Eve (EN), читать бесплатно онлайн на сайте электронной библиотеки Lib-King.Ru.

Based upon 14 months of ethnographic fieldwork among the Mopan Maya in Belize, Eve Danziger examines the semantic complexity of particular kinship terms used among Mopan women and children and shows that a culture-specific analysis of their terms is superior to other non-ethnographically-based methods. In doing so she contributes not only to theoretical semantics and the ethnography of that area, but to the cross-cultural study of child development and language acquisition.
