More than Mere Words: Essays on Language and Linguistics in Honour of Peter Sutton - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Peter Sutton a été à plusieurs reprises, et parfois simultanément, un anthropologue muséal avec un rôle fondamental dans la mise en valeur de l'art indigène australien, un anthropologue et linguiste qui a apporté des contributions ethnographiques, analytiques et théoriques importantes aux deux domaines, et à l'intersection entre eux, un expert en titres autochtones et un intellectuel public.
Les contributeurs à More than Mere Words reflètent l'importante contribution de Sutton à la linguistique et à l'étude des langues australiennes. Les deux premiers chapitres donnent une perspective historique sur l'étude des langues autochtones de l'Australie.
Il suit une section sur la langue comme reflet de la connexion au lieu, puis un ensemble d'essais sur la langue dans ses contextes socio-culturels, couvrant la préhistoire à nos jours.
La dernière partie du livre retrace les conséquences de la rencontre coloniale à travers une prise en compte de la mise en danger de la langue. Le titre du volume capture à la fois la complexité des langues en tant que systèmes intégrés dans leurs contextes sociaux à travers l'espace et le temps, et le sentiment que cette célébration de la vie et de la carrière de Pierre ne peut pas simplement être lue comme de simples mots.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Peter Sutton has been at various times, and sometimes simultaneously, a museum-based anthropologist with a foundational role in raising the profile of Australian Indigenous art, an anthropologist and linguist who has made significant ethnographic, analytical and theoretical contributions to both fields, and to the intersection between them, an expert on native title, and a public intellectual.The contributors to More than Mere Words reflect on Sutton's important contribution to linguistics and the study of Australian languages. The first two chapters give a historical perspective on the study of Australia's Indigenous languages.There follows a section on language as a reflection of connection to place, and then a set of essays on language in its socio-cultural contexts, spanning prehistory to the present.The final part of the book charts the consequences of the colonial encounter through a consideration of language endangerment. The volume's title captures both the complexity of languages as systems embedded in their social contexts through space and time, and a sense that this celebration of Peter's life and career cannot simply be read as 'mere words'.Edited by Paul Monaghan and Michael WalshContributors: Louise Ashmore, Paul Black, Barry Blake, Luise Hercus, Clair Hill, Harold Koch, Patrick McConvell, Paul Monaghan, David Moore, David Nash, Alan Rumsey, Jane Simpson, Clara Stockigt, Jean-Christophe Verstraete, Michael Walsh The contributors reflect on Sutton's important contribution to linguistics and the study of Australian languages.
