... is the comparative study of the ways in which language shapes social life.
LINGUISTIC ANTHROPOLOGY

Some of these meanings are directly expressed in language; many are taken for granted and communicated only indirectly through word and action. But in every society people make constant use of these complex meaning systems to organize their behavior, to understand themselves and others, and to make sense out of the world in which they live.
