Its main perspective is a cross-cultural sociolinguistic and anthropological linguistic account of Indigenous Grammar. The concept (relating to Bruno Liebich's term Einheimische Grammatik') is taken in its widest sense here to account for a continua of forms and ways of language-oriented research, various degrees of systematic reflection on language structure and use, the culture-specific ingredients of different grammatical schools, linguistic and folk-linguistic speculation, language awareness, linguistic ideologies and similar endeavours. Some assumptions underlying the central hypotheses of this book are:  Linguistics, every grammatical description, has a strong cultural binding.  It is worthwhile to describe the culturally bound differences in a systematic fashion.  There are indigenous grammars and grammarians of entirely different denominations than what Western linguists are accustomed to dealing with.  A heuristic \u003ci\u003econtinua\u003c\/i\u003e of indigenous grammar can be set up which is worth being studied by linguists in a cross-cultural comparative fashion.","brand":"Peter Lang AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48889127731543,"sku":"9783631385814","price":90.63,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/indigenous-grammar-across-cultures-9783631385814","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
