Referential Practice: Language and Lived Space among the Maya
TL;DR: Referential Practice as discussed by the authors is an anthropological study of language use in a contemporary Yucatec Maya community, which examines the routine conversational practices in which Maya speakers make reference to themselves and to each other, to their immediate contexts, and to their world.
Journal ArticleDOI
discourse genres in a theory of practice
TL;DR: In this article, the authors develop a coherent approach to speech genres by treating genres as elements of linguistic habitus, consisting of stylistic, thematic, and indexical schemata on which actors improvise in the course of linguistic production.
Journal ArticleDOI
Explorations in the Deictic Field

Journal ArticleDOI
Text and textuality

Journal ArticleDOI
Pierre bourdieu and the practices of language
TL;DR: The authors examines and relates habitus and field in detail, tracing the former to the work of Erwin Panofsky and the latter to structuralist discourse semantics, and concludes that the principles of relative autonomy, boundedness, homology, and embedding apply to fields and their linkage to habitus.
