Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ethnological and Philological EssaysI venture to make these observations here primarily; lst, as leading me directly to the arguments which I have to adduce in support of my theories; and 2dly, because the learned Baron, in another part of the same work, and again in his last publication, Cosmos, seems to countenance the ideas of some others, who have held that there were originally various dis tinct creations of beings of the human race, contrary to our faith that God hath made of one blood all the nations upon earth. In the same chapter he says Perhaps this race of copper-coloured men, comprehended under the general name of American Indians, is a mixture of Asiatic tribes, and the aborigines of this vast continent as if the two races were essentially distinct from each other, and as if the copper coloured men, comprehended under the general name of Ame rican Indians, with all their mixtures, could not all of them have been only different migrations of Asiatic tribes, earlier or later arrived on the new continent.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays Ethnological and Linguistic The following Papers, most of which were read before the Ethnological Society, were intended to form an introductory volume to two larger works, the one on the origin and character of the Basque language and people, the other relative to the knowledge of America possessed by the Ancients. With the exception of the Essays on the ancient languages of France and Spain, on the lost Tribes of Israel, and the first notice respecting the American Indians, which have already been published, these Papers were not prepared by the author for publication, and this circumstance will explain the repetitions which will occasionally be met with. They have been printed from the original M. S. without alteration, as I considered it more advisable to do so than lo make any verbal changes in the text. A further paper would have been written respecting the progress of the Celts through Europe, in which their passage westward was intended to be traced from the names of localities in which the word "gal" in its varying forms occurs, and from the remains of Celtic customs and usages still to be found in Eastern and Central Europe, as well as from linguistic affinities. No Notes however came into my possession from which an abstract could be given of this intended Essay, or of the work on the Basques.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Opuscula: Essays Chiefly Philological and Ethnographical The essays in the present volume are chiefly upon philo logical and ethnographical subjects: though not exclusively. The earliest was published in 1840, the latest in 1850. In some cases they have formed separate treatises and in some Appendices to larger works. The greater part, however, consists of papers read before the Philological Society of London; a society which has materially promoted the growth of Comparative Philology in Great Britain, and which, if it had merely given to the world the valuable researches of the late Mr. Garnett, would have done more than enough to justify its existence and to prove its usefulness. As a general rule these papers address themselves to some definite and special question, which commanded the attention of the author either because it was obscure, or because there was something in the current opinions concerning it which, in his eyes, required correction. Re searches conducted on this principle can scarcely be invested with any very general interest. Those who take them up are supposed to have their general knowledge beforehand. A wide field and a clear view, they have already taken. At the same time there are, in the distant horizon, imperfect outlines, and in the parts nearer to the eye dim spots where, the light is uncertain, dark spots where it is wholly wanting, and, oftener still, spots illumined by a false and artificial light. Some of the details of the following investigations may be uninteresting from their minuteness; some from their obscurity; the minuteness however, and the obscurity which deprive them of general interest make it all the more incumbent on some one to take them up: and it is needless to add that for a full and complete system of ethnographical or philological knowledge all the details that are discoverable should be discovered. This is my -xru-.- (if excuse be needed) for having spent some valuable turnupon obscure points of minute interest. Upon the whole, they have not been superfluous.

This book was released on 2018-10-09 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With Elementary Forms of Religious Life (1912) the soci0logist ?mile Durkheim formulated the most influential social-science theory of religion to date. Pivotal are the paired concepts ?sacred / profane?, the notion of ?collective representations?, and the hypothesis that through such religious symbols, society compels its members to venerate herself i.e. to submit to the social as an irreducible instance in its own right. Having grappled with this Durkheimian inheritance for half a century, the anthropologist of religion and intercultural philosopher Wim van Binsbergen in this book traces his own steps in confront_ing Durkheim's sacred, through theoretical criticism, through ethnographic application (to popular Islam in the segmentary social organisation of the highlands of Northwestern Tunisia), and by state-of-the-art long-range methods of linguistic and comparative mythological analysis. Thus, much to his surprise, he demonstrates the continued validity of Durkheim's insights in religion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History and Ethnology IT is the aim of this essay to show the importance of ethnology, and especially of recent develop ments of that science, to history. During the last ten years there has been in progress, rudely hindered but not stopped by the war, a movement which has brought the two disciplines into much closer relationship than would have been possible under the conditions which guided the study of ethnology twenty or thirty years ago. At this more remote period anthropology - I use the term anthropology advisedly - was wholly under the dominance of a crude evolutionary standpoint. The aim of the anthropologist was to work out a scheme of human progress according to which language, social organisation, religion, and material arts had developed through the action of certain principles or laws. It was assumed that the manifold peoples of the earth represented stages in this process of evolution, and it was supposed that by the comparative study of the culture of these different peoples it would be possible to formulate the laws by which the process of evolu tion had been directed and governed. It was. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.

Download or read book Essays in the History of Linguistic Anthropology written by Dell H. Hymes and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1983 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anthropology and linguistics, as historically developing disciplines, have had partly separate roots and traditions. In particular settings and in general, the two disciplines have partly shared, partly differed in the nature of their materials, their favorite types of problem the personalities of their dominant figures, their relations with other disciplines and intellectual current. The two disciplines have also varied in their interrelation with each other and the society about them. Institutional arrangements have reflected the varying degrees of kinship, kithship, and separation. Such relationships themselves form a topic that is central to a history of linguistic anthropology yet marginal to a self-contained history of linguistics or anthropology as either would be conceived by most authors. There exists not only a subject matter for a history of linguistic anthropology, but also a definite need.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Analecta Anglo-Saxonica, Selections, in Prose and Verse, From the Anglo-Saxon Literature, Vol. 1: With an Introductory Ethnological Essay, and Notes, Critical and Explanatory In the preliminary Essay a cursory ethnographical review has been taken of the ancient and modern nations of Europe, drawn out upon philological principles, which, it is trusted, will not be unacceptable to the student, while some of the facts that it sets forth will have a tendency to correct many erroneous opinions imbibed from our com mon histories and other works. The difficulty has been in giving an epitome of what is a subject for volumes. Some slight changes have been ventured upon in the orthography of a few proper names for the sake of derivation, and to exhibit analogies. Philology, indeed, re quires that such amendments should become general. It is absurd that either ancient, or other forms should be allowed in our language, as modified by their passage through a second, and, in many ia stances, also through a third tongue.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Analecta Anglo-Saxonica, Vol. 1: Selections, in Prose and Verse, From the Anglo-Saxon Literature; With an Introductory Ethnological Essay, and Notes, Critical and Explanatory I n the preliminary E-ay a cursory ethnographical review has been taken of the ancient and modern nations of Europe, drawn out upon philological principles, which, it is trusted, will not be unacceptable to the student, while some of the facts that it sets forth will have a tendency to correct many erroneous opinions imbibed from our com mon histories and other works. The dificulty has been in giving an epitome of what is a subject for volumes. Some slight changes have been ventured upon in the orthography of a few proper names for the sake of derivation, and to exhibit analogies. Philology, indeed, re quires that such amendments should become general. It is absurd that either ancient, or other forms should be allowed in our language, as modified by their passage through a second, and, in many ia stances, also through a third tongue. The specimen of norman-french introduced from the Laws of William the Conqueror, as an appendix to the text, will be suficient to exemplify that language, which coming in collision with the Anglo Saxon, was eventually obliged to yield to its stronger adversary, but not without leaving traces of its inroad in the subsequent speech of Great Britain. The copious Glouary designed for these volumes, in addition to its particular object, the elucidation of the anglo-saxon tongue, will afl'ord a good point of view for the philologist in the comparative study of the indo-germanic languages, at the same time that it throws light upon the history of others. The original intention of uniting it with them could not be carried out, on account of the unexpected size of both works.
