Mujer Palabra.net. Linguistic anthropology. Linguistic anthropology is the interdisciplinary study of how language influences social life. It is a branch of anthropology that originated from the endeavor to document endangered languages, and has grown over the past 100 years to encompass almost any aspect of language structure and use.[1] Linguistic anthropology explores how language shapes communication, forms social identity and group membership, organizes large-scale cultural beliefs and ideologies, and develops a common cultural representation of natural and social worlds.[2] Historical development[edit] As Alessandro Duranti has noted, three paradigms have emerged over the history of the subdiscipline.
The first, now known as "anthropological linguistics," focuses on the documentation of languages. "Anthropological linguistics"[edit] The first paradigm was originally referred to as "linguistics", although as it and its surrounding fields of study matured it came to be known as "anthropological linguistics".
