James Underhill’s Ethnolinguistics

Adam Głaz

Abstract


Ethnolingusitics, especially in non-Slavic countries, has been an off-stream scholarly endeavour. However, the appearance of three monographs authored by James Underhill over the period of five years (2007–2012) allows one to hope, if not for a radical change of the status quo, then for new territories to be explored in ethnolinguistic inquiries. Despite similarities to and inspiration from Lublin ethnolinguistics, Underhill’s approach is markedly different, both in the theoretical sense, and in the realm of methodology and analytical practice. The present account is mainly based on the Scottish linguist’s latest book, Ethnolinguistics and Cultural Concepts (2012).
