The Hawaiian and Tahitian groups, the Society Islands, and, for a period, Tonga, were free from it during the time of the more frequent visits of Europeans towards the end of the last century.

The study of the language symbols laws and values of a society would be part of which branch of anthropology?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

إن دراسة قوانين وقيم رموز اللغة في المجتمع تتعلق بفرع الأنثروبولوجيا المعروف باسم اللغويات الثقافية أو الأنثروبولوجيا اللغوية. هذا الفرع يهتم بدراسة اللغة ودورها في التفاعل الاجتماعي والثقافي. يركز الأنثروبولوجيون اللغويون على فهم كيفية استخدام اللغة لإنتاج المعاني والمعرفة وتشكيل الهويات وتنظيم العلاقات الاجتماعية.

تتضمن دراسة الأنثروبولوجيا اللغوية أيضًا تحليل النظم اللغوية المحددة التي يستخدمها المجتمع، بما في ذلك القوانين والقيم التي تنظم استخدام اللغة وتفسيرها. يتم فحص العلاقة بين اللغة والثقافة والسلطة والهوية والجندر والطبقة الاجتماعية والعديد من العوامل الأخرى التي تؤثر في استخدام اللغة في المجتمع.

لذلك، يمكن القول أن دراسة قوانين وقيم رموز اللغة في المجتمع تندرج تحت فرع الأنثروبولوجيا اللغوية في مجال الأنثروبولوجيا.

What are people who live in the desert called?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

They're called desert-dwellers.

What is the meaning of gender as a social construct?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

When we say that gender is a "social construct," we mean that gender is not a result of natural, physical, or biological differences. Those sorts of differences are referred to as "sex" differences: for instance, chromosomal differences, genital differences, and so on. Something like the idea that boys like blue and girls like pink is a gender difference; there is no natural or biological reason for it - it's simply socially constructed, a concept that we all agree with for no other reason than that we agree upon it.

Basically, when someone claims that something is a social construct, they are saying that there is no natural or scientific basis for it; it exists only due to human behavior, thought, and interference.
