c. definition of ethnography of communication
ethnography of communication is a method of discourse analysis in linguistics or it could also be said that the ethnography of communication is the application of ethnographic methods in meaningful communication patterns using either speech or verbal cues, body language or nonverbal signs in a group. here,an interpreter tries to provide understanding for the diverse forms of communication used by members of a group or culture.
Before the term ethnography of communication increasingly popular use, the term ethnography of speaking (ethnography of speaking) earlier referred to as the descriptions of the use of spoken language.ethnography of communication become more widespread because not only covers oral communication mode (speaking), but also involves a written communication (writing) and communication cues (gestures), body movements (kinesics), or the sign (signing).
term Etnography of speaking was originally introduced by an anthropologist and linguist at the same time American, Dell Hymes.
Hymes concerning the work of anthropology and linguistics experts who forget the wide area of human communication and critical. anthropologists have long been conducting ethnographic study of cultural aspects such as kinship systems, the traditional view of medicine and healing diseases; language issues are treated under other aspects,ie as a means to obtain other topics of language. reviewing many books on comparative religion, comparative politics and so on, but there is no book on the comparison of the various parts of speech. linguists, according to him, is also very concerned with language as an abstract system.they are glued to describe and explain the grammatical structure of the sentence is considered by native speakers. however, how people use it is a different sentence with another sentence, whether the sentence was to have someone else, or display of any utterance, considered outside the concern of linguistic theory. according to Hymes' social scientists to separate themselves from the content of speech,and two experts were split off from the pattern of use of speech "(1974:126). ethnography of communication will fill that gap by adding other things (substitutions or communications) of the topics claim to describing ethnographic anthropology, and to develop linguistic analysis.
