| dc.description | THEORY OF CULTURE is a systematic analysis of the linguistic aspects of culture, and an evaluation of the fundamental aspects and modes of cultural experience. Starting with the hypothesis that culture, like language. is all-embracing (even though specific sciences deal mainly with its social functions). The book goes on to analyze the linguistic structures interwoven with culture as a whole, and attempts to encompass the general relationships between the operations of cultural experience and its contexts. | |
