Sample text

Community, in this sense, is a dynamic, complex, and sometimes subtle thing. There are latent or obsolescent speech communities on some Indian reservations in this country, brought into being principally by the visit of a linguist or anthropologist who also can use the language and shows respect for uses to which it can be put. There are emergent communities, such as New York City would appear to be, in the sense that they share norms for the evaluation of certain variables (such as post-vocalic r), that have developed in this century.

Probably it is best to employ terms such as field and network for the larger spheres within which a person operates communicatively. One’s language field would be the sphere within which one has knowledge (or command) of languages as such; one’s speech field would be the sphere within which one has knowledge (or command) of patterns of use (implicating competence in speaking, hearing, writing, reading); one’s network would be the sphere of relationships in which the two kinds of knowledge (or command) are joined.

2 Boas is known for life-long study of the Kwakiutl, others are associated with other groups, but anthropologists do not seem to be associated with long-term involvement with particular schools or school systems. That makes the anthropology of schooling odd. One way to describe anthropology is to say that it has divided the world into names— names of peoples, languages, cultures—that it has made legitimate objects of knowledge. There are bibliographies of such knowledge, organized in terms of such names.
