This volume exposes the conflicted relationship between modern social anthropology and linguistics. For example, comparing the different approaches and gaps in cladistics, classification, symbolism, and structuralism. The works of Saussure, Lévi-Strauss and Chomsky are considered. Includes case-studies as examples of 'social history'. For example, drawing upon the pidgins documented on the West African coast, ending with Pidgin English. And the exemplar language varieties used in a show more 'trilingual' community in the Carnian Alps.
