Symbols for “Hill” and “Mountain” in Malaysian Indigenous Languages

This paper is a study of symbols which stand for the objects hill and mountain, with data taken from 53 Malaysian languages and dialects. The objectives are to construct the ontology of the semantics of the words which represent the names for these objects, and to interpret the meanings of these objects, and in this way show the connection between language and culture in these names. The theory applied in the analysis is the theory of the sign. In Ferdinand de Saussure’s theory, the sign is the language symbol, being the union of the signifier and the signified. Roland Barthes’ application of Saussure’s theory with modification to suit non-language symbols, is also applied; here the sign is the object. From the linguistic analysis, the results are a picture of processes of the developments of the semantics and the phylogenetics of the words referring to the objects. From the anthropological side, it has been found that while the meaning differences of the objects taken to be hill and mountain in English are shown in their height and size, this is not so in Malay. In Malay, while physical features of these objects are recognized by society, the cultural and psychological factors seem to override the physical ones to indicate a mountain as different from a hill.

Scale and the Linguistic Anthropology of Discursive Interaction

Linguistic anthropologists like to stress how discursive interaction–social interaction mediated by language use–is embedded in its social, cultural, and historical context. In part this reflects anthropology’s long (if ambivalent) legacy of holism and its methodological commitment to ethnography. I argue here that this sensibility is also a response to old but stubborn debates about scale that continue to haunt the study of objects of knowledge such as “discourse,” “conversation,” and “interaction.” Focusing on interaction, I first illustrate linguistic anthropology’s integrative approach to interaction and note how it differs from adjacent traditions such as Conversation Analysis on matters of context and scale. I then turn back historically to ask how and why discursive interaction became scaled as small in the first place. In the US, when the sciences of face-to-face interaction first crystallized in the years after the second world war, many scholars came to imagine interaction as an intrinsically small-scale level of social reality that demanded fine-grained, microscopic methods, methods that often required mechanical recording technologies. Interaction’s smallness acquired a new subversive politics in the late 60s and early 70s, especially as feminist and liberal anti-racist scholars of discourse envisioned “the interpersonal” as a micropolitical domain. They promised to pinpoint patriarchy and racism with the help of recording technologies and faithful transcripts of talk. But these new scholars of the small were quickly forced to explain how this micropolitics related to a politics elsewhere and how interaction itself related to a proverbial wider world. In this talk, I retrace the many troubles that have come from treating discursive interaction as small. I argue that while interaction has no intrinsic ontological scale, this legacy of scalar contestation continues to shape what we think interaction is and what studying it can–and cannot–deliver.

The city comprises 16 administrative districts and is divided into six political districts for the purposes of its representation in the Congress of the Philippines and the election of city council members.

Scale and the Linguistic Anthropology of Discursive Interaction

Linguistic anthropologists like to stress how discursive interaction–social interaction mediated by language use–is embedded in its social, cultural, and historical context. In part this reflects anthropology’s long (if ambivalent) legacy of holism and its methodological commitment to ethnography. I argue here that this sensibility is also a response to old but stubborn debates about scale that continue to haunt the study of objects of knowledge such as “discourse,” “conversation,” and “interaction.” Focusing on interaction, I first illustrate linguistic anthropology’s integrative approach to interaction and note how it differs from adjacent traditions such as Conversation Analysis on matters of context and scale. I then turn back historically to ask how and why discursive interaction became scaled as small in the first place. In the US, when the sciences of face-to-face interaction first crystallized in the years after the second world war, many scholars came to imagine interaction as an intrinsically small-scale level of social reality that demanded fine-grained, microscopic methods, methods that often required mechanical recording technologies. Interaction’s smallness acquired a new subversive politics in the late 60s and early 70s, especially as feminist and liberal anti-racist scholars of discourse envisioned “the interpersonal” as a micropolitical domain. They promised to pinpoint patriarchy and racism with the help of recording technologies and faithful transcripts of talk. But these new scholars of the small were quickly forced to explain how this micropolitics related to a politics elsewhere and how interaction itself related to a proverbial wider world. In this talk, I retrace the many troubles that have come from treating discursive interaction as small. I argue that while interaction has no intrinsic ontological scale, this legacy of scalar contestation continues to shape what we think interaction is and what studying it can–and cannot–deliver.

Scale and the Linguistic Anthropology of Discursive Interaction

Linguistic anthropologists like to stress how discursive interaction–social interaction mediated by language use–is embedded in its social, cultural, and historical context. In part this reflects anthropology’s long (if ambivalent) legacy of holism and its methodological commitment to ethnography. I argue here that this sensibility is also a response to old but stubborn debates about scale that continue to haunt the study of objects of knowledge such as “discourse,” “conversation,” and “interaction.” Focusing on interaction, I first illustrate linguistic anthropology’s integrative approach to interaction and note how it differs from adjacent traditions such as Conversation Analysis on matters of context and scale. I then turn back historically to ask how and why discursive interaction became scaled as small in the first place. In the US, when the sciences of face-to-face interaction first crystallized in the years after the second world war, many scholars came to imagine interaction as an intrinsically small-scale level of social reality that demanded fine-grained, microscopic methods, methods that often required mechanical recording technologies. Interaction’s smallness acquired a new subversive politics in the late 60s and early 70s, especially as feminist and liberal anti-racist scholars of discourse envisioned “the interpersonal” as a micropolitical domain. They promised to pinpoint patriarchy and racism with the help of recording technologies and faithful transcripts of talk. But these new scholars of the small were quickly forced to explain how this micropolitics related to a politics elsewhere and how interaction itself related to a proverbial wider world. In this talk, I retrace the many troubles that have come from treating discursive interaction as small. I argue that while interaction has no intrinsic ontological scale, this legacy of scalar contestation continues to shape what we think interaction is and what studying it can–and cannot–deliver.

Scale and the Linguistic Anthropology of Discursive Interaction

Linguistic anthropologists like to stress how discursive interaction–social interaction mediated by language use–is embedded in its social, cultural, and historical context. In part this reflects anthropology’s long (if ambivalent) legacy of holism and its methodological commitment to ethnography. I argue here that this sensibility is also a response to old but stubborn debates about scale that continue to haunt the study of objects of knowledge such as “discourse,” “conversation,” and “interaction.” Focusing on interaction, I first illustrate linguistic anthropology’s integrative approach to interaction and note how it differs from adjacent traditions such as Conversation Analysis on matters of context and scale. I then turn back historically to ask how and why discursive interaction became scaled as small in the first place. In the US, when the sciences of face-to-face interaction first crystallized in the years after the second world war, many scholars came to imagine interaction as an intrinsically small-scale level of social reality that demanded fine-grained, microscopic methods, methods that often required mechanical recording technologies. Interaction’s smallness acquired a new subversive politics in the late 60s and early 70s, especially as feminist and liberal anti-racist scholars of discourse envisioned “the interpersonal” as a micropolitical domain. They promised to pinpoint patriarchy and racism with the help of recording technologies and faithful transcripts of talk. But these new scholars of the small were quickly forced to explain how this micropolitics related to a politics elsewhere and how interaction itself related to a proverbial wider world. In this talk, I retrace the many troubles that have come from treating discursive interaction as small. I argue that while interaction has no intrinsic ontological scale, this legacy of scalar contestation continues to shape what we think interaction is and what studying it can–and cannot–deliver.

Symbols for “Hill” and “Mountain” in Malaysian Indigenous Languages

This paper is a study of symbols which stand for the objects hill and mountain, with data taken from 53 Malaysian languages and dialects.

Scale and the Linguistic Anthropology of Discursive Interaction

Linguistic anthropologists like to stress how discursive interaction–social interaction mediated by language use–is embedded in its social, cultural, and historical context. In part this reflects anthropology’s long (if ambivalent) legacy of holism and its methodological commitment to ethnography. I argue here that this sensibility is also a response to old but stubborn debates about scale that continue to haunt the study of objects of knowledge such as “discourse,” “conversation,” and “interaction.” Focusing on interaction, I first illustrate linguistic anthropology’s integrative approach to interaction and note how it differs from adjacent traditions such as Conversation Analysis on matters of context and scale. I then turn back historically to ask how and why discursive interaction became scaled as small in the first place. In the US, when the sciences of face-to-face interaction first crystallized in the years after the second world war, many scholars came to imagine interaction as an intrinsically small-scale level of social reality that demanded fine-grained, microscopic methods, methods that often required mechanical recording technologies. Interaction’s smallness acquired a new subversive politics in the late 60s and early 70s, especially as feminist and liberal anti-racist scholars of discourse envisioned “the interpersonal” as a micropolitical domain. They promised to pinpoint patriarchy and racism with the help of recording technologies and faithful transcripts of talk. But these new scholars of the small were quickly forced to explain how this micropolitics related to a politics elsewhere and how interaction itself related to a proverbial wider world. In this talk, I retrace the many troubles that have come from treating discursive interaction as small. I argue that while interaction has no intrinsic ontological scale, this legacy of scalar contestation continues to shape what we think interaction is and what studying it can–and cannot–deliver.

Manila, known officially as the City of Manila, is the capital of the Philippines, and its second-most populous city. Manila is located on the eastern shore of Manila Bay, on the island of Luzon. The Pasig River flows through the middle of the city, dividing it into the north and south sections. The city comprises 16 administrative districts and is divided into six political districts for the purposes of its representation in the Congress of the Philippines and the election of city council members.

Symbols for “Hill” and “Mountain” in Malaysian Indigenous Languages

This paper is a study of symbols which stand for the objects hill and mountain, with data taken from 53 Malaysian languages and dialects. The objectives are to construct the ontology of the semantics of the words which represent the names for these objects, and to interpret the meanings of these objects, and in this way show the connection between language and culture in these names. The theory applied in the analysis is the theory of the sign. In Ferdinand de Saussure’s theory, the sign is the language symbol, being the union of the signifier and the signified. Roland Barthes’ application of Saussure’s theory with modification to suit non-language symbols, is also applied; here the sign is the object. From the linguistic analysis, the results are a picture of processes of the developments of the semantics and the phylogenetics of the words referring to the objects. From the anthropological side, it has been found that while the meaning differences of the objects taken to be hill and mountain in English are shown in their height and size, this is not so in Malay. In Malay, while physical features of these objects are recognized by society, the cultural and psychological factors seem to override the physical ones to indicate a mountain as different from a hill.
