It can also be captured through shared linguistic practices within a group, e.g. collectively shared narrative practices. Using conversation analysis and an analysis of narrative as practice bolstered with ethnographic knowledge, the author shows how \u003ci\u003ebelonging\u003c\/i\u003e is tied to locally contextualized use of deictics and to collectively shared narrations of the past in a Guatemalan community. The book examines the understudied phenomenon of belonging at the intersection of pragmatics and linguistic anthropology. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eBelonging and identification – Belonging and linguistic practices – Belonging as a local and interactional problem – Narrating as a local practice of belonging – Self- and other-positioning in narrative – Social and referential meanings of local adverbs – Regimes of belonging – Guatemalan rural community\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51044407804247,"sku":"9783631735602","price":52.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783631735602.jpg?v=1750961521","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/language-and-belonging-local-categories-and-practices-in-a-guatemalan-highland-community-9783631735602","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
