"The attempts to classify mankind are numerous."
Franz Boas, (1911: 6) "Introduction." [In:] The Handbook of American Indian
Languages. Washington, D.C.: Smithsonian Institution. Bureau of American
Ethnology. Bulletin 40; 1-95.
"Of all aspects of culture, it is a fair guess that language was the first to
receive a highly developed form and that its essential perfection is a
prerequisite to the development of culture as a whole."
Edward Sapir, (1933: 155) "Language." [In:] Edwin A. Seligman (editor-in-chief)
The Encyclopaedia of the Social Sciences. Vol. 9; 155-169.
"1. The discipline of linguistics will continue to contribute studies of the
history, structure, and use of languages; 2. in other disciplines, linguistic
concepts and practices will be qualified, reinterpreted, subsumed, and perhaps
sometimes re-diffused in changed form into linguistics; 3. linguistics will
remain the discipline for coordinating knowledge about verbal behavior from the
viewpoint of language itself."
Dell H. Hymes, (1962: 13) "The Ethnography of Speaking." [In:] T. Galdwin, W.
Sturtevant (eds.) Anthropology and Human Behavior. Washington, D.C.: The
Anthropological Society of Washington; 13-53.
"The possibility of insult and of humor based on linguistic choices means that
members agree on the underlying rules of speech and on the social meaning of
linguistic features."
Susan M. Ervin-Tripp, (1969: 93) "Sociolinguistics." [In:] Leonard Berkovitz
(ed.) Advances in Experimental Social Psychology. Vol 4. Academic Press; 93-107.
"As culture contact is perhaps the most common vector of culture change, the
nature of this contact is often manifested in linguistic change."
Willam A. Foley, (1997: 384) Anthropological Linguistics. Malden, MA: Blackwell
Publishing.
"(...) Linguistic anthropology is a distinct discipline that deserves to be
studied for its past accomplishments as much as for the vision of the future
presented in the work of a relatively small but active group of
interdisciplinary researchers."
Alessandro Duranti, (1997: 1) Linguistic Anthropology. Cambridge, U.K.:
Cambridge University Press.
"The development of a comprehensive written visual language caused civilization
to grow more complex. (...) Literacy gives cultures the privilege of knowing the
past."
Denise Schmandt-Besserat, (2007: 105) When Writing Met Art. From Symbol to
Story. Austin: University of Texas Press.
