anthropological linguistics

the branch of linguistics that draws connections between the characteristics of a particular language and the cultural practices, social structures, and worldview of the society in which it is spoken (see linguistic determinism; linguistic relativity). The field developed primarily from an interest in describing languages indigenous to North America, such as Navaho and Hopi.
