query - ethnographies of non-Western public speaking

[David Boromisza-Habashi]

Hi ETHNOCOMMers,

I am looking for ethnographic literature on forms and meanings of
speaking in public in speech communities described as "non-Western." I
am especially interested in studies of public speaking in secular
settings.

So far, I have the following items on my list:

Carbaugh, D. (1993). "Soul" and "self": Soviet and American cultures
in conversation. Quarterly Journal of Speech, 79, 182-200.
Carbaugh, D. & Wolf, K. (1999). Situating rhetoric in cultural
discourses. In A. González & D. V. Tanno (Eds.), Rhetoric in
intercultural contexts (pp. 19-30). Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage.
Frake, C. O. (1986). "Struck by speech": The Yakan concept of
litigation. In J. J. Gumperz & D. Hymes (Eds.), Directions in
sociolinguistics: The ethnography of communication (pp. 106-129).
Oxford, New York: Basil Blackwell.
Liberman, K. (1990). Intercultural communication in Central Australia.
In D. Carbaugh (ed.), Cultural Communication and Intercultural Contact
(pp. 177-183). Hillsdale, NJ: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates.
Philips, S. U. (1976). Some sources of cultural variability in the
regulation of talk. Language in Society, 5, 81-95.
Yankah, K. (1995). Metadiscourse: The framing of avoidance in formal
encounters. Text, 15, 229-252.
Yankah, K. (1998). Free speech in traditional society: The cultural
foundations of communication in contemporary Ghana. Accra: Ghana
Universities Press.

Thanks very much for your input in advance,

Cheers, DBH
