Audio-Visual Resources
This page is designed to let students have hands-on experience in analyzing interactions.
It contains sound clips, photographs, and video clips taken in different
speech communities around the world. In combination with material distributed
in the course (or, in some cases, available in another part of this
web site), the contents of this page are designed to help make courses in linguistic anthropology an interactive experience, whereby students
can practice what it means to identify some communicative phenomena
and make them into objects of inquiry through the practice of inscription.
