He considers the interface between the written and the oral in three cultures or societies with and without writing, and that within the linguistic life of an individual. Specific analyses of the sequence of historical change within writing systems, the historic impact of writing upon Eurasian cultures, and the interaction between distinct oral and literate cultures in West Africa, precede an extensive concluding examination of contemporary issues in the investigation, whether sociological or psychological, of literacy. A substantial corpus of anthropological, historical and linguistic evidence is produced in support of Goody's findings, which form a natural complement to his own recently published study of The Logic of Writing and the Organization of Society.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 215mmItem Length: 138mmItem Width: 26mmItem Weight: 500gAuthor: Jack GoodyGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Social SciencesBook Series: Studies in Literacy, the Family, Culture and the StateRelease Year: 1987 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
