Abstract:

A multimodal ethnography of language as living process, this book demonstrates
methods for the integrated analysis of talk, gesture, and material culture,
developing a fresh way to understand human language through a focus on jointly
achieved social actions to which it is part. Based on findings from a
participatory, multimedia language documentation project in a highland Zapotec
community of Oaxaca, Mexico, Mark A. Sicoli brings together goals of
documentary linguistics and anthropological concern with the everyday means
and ends of human social life with theoretical consequences for the analysis
of linguistic and cultural reproduction and change.

This book argues that resonances emergent in the whole of multiparticipant,
multimodal interaction, are organizational of human social-cognitive process
important for understanding both the shape linguistic utterances take in
interaction (dialogic resonance) and the relationships built between distinct
sign modes (intermodal resonance). In this way, "Saying and Doing in Zapotec"
develops a new theory, characterizing the logic of resonance in human
interaction as semiotic process that connects and juxtaposes interactional
moves into assemblages of relations, resonances and collaborations that build
an emergent lifeworld for a language.
