Twelve prominent linguists and linguistic anthropologists examine 'responsibility', 'authority', and 'knowledge', all central, but problematic concepts in contemporary anthropology. Their detailed case studies analyse diverse forms of oral discourse ñ from everyday conversation and conversational narrative to divination and ritual poetry ñ in the Americas, Africa, Asia, and the Pacific.
