Natural Histories of Discourse

Natural Histories of Discourse

by Michael Silverstein (Author)

Synopsis

This collection of ethnographies demonstrates that the divide between fleeting discursive practice and formed text is a constructed one, and that the constructional process reveals "culture". The cultural processes of "entextualization" and "contextualization" are examined.
