Ethnolinguistik

The book "Ethnolinguistics" offers a comprehensive introduction to the fascinating discipline that deals with the linguistic representation of conceptual structures in a cultural context. It highlights how different language communities perceive and describe their environment, with social and cultural factors playing a crucial role. Through examples, such as the description of the surroundings by the indigenous peoples of West Siberia, it becomes clear how language and culture are intertwined. This academic book is aimed at students of linguistics, ethnology, and cultural anthropology, as well as anyone interested in the complex relationships between language and culture. The authors, Prof. Dr. Beáta Wagner-Nagy and Dr. Ulrike Kahrs, bring their expertise in the study of Uralic and Siberian languages and provide valuable insights into ethnolinguistic research.
