Abstract:

This book argues that the complex, anthropocentric, and often culture-specific
meanings of words have been shaped directly by their history of 'utility' for
communication in social life, and explores relations between language,
communication, culture, and mind. It contains extensive data from the author's
fieldwork on language and culture in Laos.
