Anthropolinguistics studies examines linguistic phenomena based on a linguistic scientific perspective and not cultural studies. The phenomenon of language is the phenomenon  used e in various events. This study examines Sef Alumama’ ritual speech in the Boti community. The data in this study are recorded, transcribed, translated, and coded with the principle of managing corpus data. Specific theories and methods are used to answer the question of how is the study of anthropolinguistics applying  in the ritual speech 'Sef Alumama' at the Boti community in East Nusa Tenggara ? The main theory in this research is anthropolinguistics theory with cognitive semiotic theory as a specific theory. The results showed that a lexicon has linguistic attributes  connected textually and intertextually. This lexicon or lingual form can be visualized in a cognitive map based on linguistic principles. Furthermore, Dawan's morphosyntaxis shows specific characteristics in the use of pronouns. In-depth studies conclude that the pronoun is used as a semantic interpretation and harmonization of oral literary sounds.Linguistik kebudayaan menjadi ranah pengkajian bahasa yang menelaah fenomena kebahasaan berdasarkan sudut pandang keilmuan linguistik dan bukan kajian budaya. Fenomena kebahasaan adalah fenomena penggunaan bahasa dalam berbagai perisiwa. Penelitian ini mengkaji tuturan ritual sef alu mama pada masyrakat Boti. Data dalam penelitian ini ialah tuturan ritual yang direkam, ditranskrip, ditranslasi, dan dikodekan dengan prinsip pengelolahan data korpus. Teori dan metode yang spesifik digunakan untuk menjawab pertanyaan bagaimana kajian linguistik kebudayaan dalam tuturan ritual ‘sef alu mama’ pada masyarkat Boti di Nusa Tenggara Timur. Teori payung dalam penelitian ini ialah teori linguistik kebudayaan dengan teori semiotik kognitif sebagai teori spesifik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebuah leksikon memiliki atribut kebahasaan yang dapat bergayut secara tekstual bahkan intertekstual. Leksikon atau bentuk lingual ini dapat divisualisasikan dalam peta kognitif berdasarkan prinsip kebahasaan. Lebih lanjut, morfosintaksis bahasa Dawan menunjukkan ciri spesifik dalam penggunaan pronomina. Kajian mendalam menyimpukan bahwa pronomina tersebut digunakan sebagai pemaknaan secara semantis dan harmonisasi bunyi sastra lisan.

Polarity Sensitive

The paper investigates the syntactic, semantic, and cultural properties of minimizers and maximizers from a contrastive perspective. Minimizers and maximizers are scalar constructions whose function is to strengthen the speaker’s (negative) assertion by pointing to the minimal (minimizers) or the maximal (maximizers) point on a pragmatic scale. The syntactic analysis reveals that these items are predominantly sub-clausal (V+NP/PP or NP/PP), and polarity sensitive, requiring the presence of a polarity licenser. The lexical analysis identifies three possibilities with regard to lexical selections in the two languages: a complete, partial, and a non-existent lexico-semantic overlap. Furthermore, the corpus data indicate that there is considerable variation in the lexical items appearing in minimizers and maximizers (e.g., give a damn/shit/toss/fuck/monkey’s/fig/rat’s ( arse , ass, fart)/hoot). Even though minimizers and maximizers in both languages involve the metaphor more is up, less is down / good is up, bad is down and part-for-whole metonymy, the analysis shows that the lexical selection in the two languages diverges due to different cultural conceptualisations and cultural background. The observation and results of the analysis presented herein aim at contributing to a better understanding of idiomatic expressions from the viewpoint of contrastive linguistics, cultural studies, and cultural conceptualisation.

Semiotic Theory

A life of signs in the network of codes. On semiotically-oriented studies of discourse and style (an analysis of the sign “Croatian nation”)In the article a semiotic theory of style and discourse is developed. According to some author’s previous research and theories by Bakhtin, Eco and Uspienski, the idea of overlapping of signs and codes is discussed. The sign-vehicle “Croatian nation” is taken into consideration in various contexts and various interlocutors (from Croatian literature, press and scholarly books). The result of such an investigation is aimed to empirically prove to what extent usual semantic interpretation deprives the whole meaning of texts.

Abstract Tomasello argues in the target article that, in generalizing the concrete obligations originating from interdependent collaboration to one's entire cultural group, humans become “ultra-cooperators.” But are all human populations cooperative in similar ways? Based on cross-cultural studies and my own fieldwork in Polynesia, I argue that cooperation varies along several dimensions, and that the underlying sense of obligation is culturally modulated.

Summary: This paper presents the results obtained in Spain with The Interpersonal Adjective Scales of J.S. Wiggins (1995) concerning the variables' structure. There are two Spanish versions of IAS, developed by two independent research groups who were not aware of each other's work. One of these versions was published as an assessment test in 1996. Results from the other group have remained unpublished to date. The set of results presented here compares three sources of data: the original American manual (from Wiggins and collaborators), the Spanish manual (already published), and the new IAS (our own research). Results can be considered satisfactory since, broadly speaking, the inner structure of the original instrument is well replicated in the Spanish version.
