Anthropology Essential Ideas/Terms

1. Essential function of language is communication. 2. Spoken language is the primary vehicle through which culture is shared/transmitted 3. System of communication not unique to humans 4. Animals communicate by sound, odor, body movement… 5. Symbolic language not exclusive to humans (ex. Gorillas/chimps learning sign language)

6. Human language is unique-it spoken and symbolic nature provides for infinite combinations 7. Structural Linguists attempt to discover rules of phonology (patterning of sounds), morphology (patterning of sound sequences and words) and syntax (patterning of phrases and sentences) 8.Historical linguists focus on discovering “protolanguage” (common ancestral language)

9. When two groups speaking same language separate they will develop small changes in phonology, morphology and syntax 10. If separation endures-they will develop separate languages. 11. Contact between groups leads to language resemblance.
