| Hello |
[Nov. 14th, 2009|02:33 pm] |
This is not completely on topic, but I thought I would introduce myself and make a post since this community hasn't been updated in over a year.
I'm a college student applying to transfer this year. (Hopefully I'll get news before I'm completely insane in March.) I started getting into Cultural Anthropology and am now seeking Anthropology as my major. My class this semester is "The Culture of Language" which is not directly a linguistic anthropology course but gives students a really good introduction if they're interested in learning more about linguistic anthropology.
Which brings me to the question of, "Where should students go to read more on linguistic anthropology specifically?" |

| a study of American culture |
[Dec. 15th, 2007|03:06 pm] |
Hallo, I'm new to this community.
I'm a Russian who studies American culture.
I'm working on my postgrad thesis in lingvoculturology and I'm asking you for help.
IF YOU ARE FROM THE USA AND YOU ARE A NATIVE SPEAKER, please help me (it's terribly difficult to find an American here in Russia and make him/her answer the
questions :))).
Please, give a detailed example – like a scene from a movie, a book or from life - of a situation when a person is having fun. Give your AGE, please.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP! |

| TITULUS CRUCIS |
[Oct. 2nd, 2007|01:11 am] |
In 1492, a dramatic discovery was made in the course of repairs to a mosaic in Church of Santa Croce in Gerusalemme (Rome): a brick inscribed with the words TITULUS CRUCIS (Title of the Cross). Sealed behind the brick was a fragment of an inscription in wood, with the word «Nazarene» written in Hebrew, Greek and Latin.
. . . . . . . . . . הנצ . . . . .
. . . . . . . B SUNERAZAN SI
. . . . . R SVNIRAZAN.I
[ישו] הנצ[רי מלק היהודים]
[NWIADUOI NWT SUELISA] B SUNERAZAN SI
[MVROEADVI XE]R SVNIRAZAN.I
This Title is mentioned in all four Gospels accounts:
Pilate also wrote a title (joltit-John 19:19) and put it on the cross; it read, «Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews». Many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Christ was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek (John 19:19-20; also Matthew 27:37; Mark 15:26; Luke 23:38). |

| Two questions |
[Nov. 12th, 2006|10:25 pm] |
Does anyone of you know how it is possible to subscribe to the LINGANTH mailing list? I found about four different e-mail addresses on the web with the information that each of them was the right address to write to, and none of them resulted in anything.
Also, I see there was this post asking about the best ling. anth. departments in North America. I would like to extend this question to Europe: what are the best linguistic anthropology departments in Europe? (It would be easier for me to study in France, in a Catalan-speaking university, or anywhere with teaching in English. But I'm interested in all answers!)
Thanks! I'll also take this moment to introduce myself: I'm a graduate student in communication in Montréal, with an undergraduate degree in communication and politics. I'm also very interested in linguistic anthropology and (hence my second question) would like to pursue doctoral studies in this field. I had never noticed this community, and am happy to join it! |

Kind of weird question...but I've been sort of casually searching linguistic literature for some remarks on the cognitive rationale for abjad writing systems and...I'm not finding anything? I understand it's a weird topic, but I'd've thought that some grammatologist somewhere would have speculated about the mechanisms working behind evolution of writing systems. And I need to know why abjads preceded alphabets & abugidas for part of my thesis, aaand I'm not finding very much other than "Semitic morphology rendered the denotation of vowels redundant," which is...kinda vague.
Am I the victim of a researching blindspot? If so, can somebody nudge me in the appropriate direction?
(Heck, I'd be happy to have anything about why consonants are more memorable than vowels. Especially if the most memorable consonants are sibilants.)
((Also—why did syllabaries bear visual similarity among vowel(...ish) elements but none among those of consonants?))

I am seeking the latest literature, articles about N. Y. Marr and his Japhetic theory. I shall be grateful for facts about it and information, connected with lectures, seminars, debates concerning problems of new science of language, including new approaches (another ways of looking). |

Does anyone know anything about the quality of the organization FLACSO in Latin America? I am looking for education, internship, research, and/or work opportunities in Ecuador. I'd like to live there for a year and would like to do something worthwhile while there. My broad interests are Anthropology, Sociology, Culture Studies and Dance.
