Linguistics

“…we cannot study languages effectively apart from their cultural context… …linguistics is not so much a part of psychology, as most contemporary linguists believe, as part of anthropology, as Sapir believed (in fact, this could mean that psychology itself is part of anthropology…) Linguistics apart from anthropology and field research is like chemistry apart from chemicals and the laboratory.” — Daniel L. Everett, _Don’t Sleep, There Are Snakes_
