Isi artikel

This article examines Navajo speech forms used during ritual occasions, from ceremonial healing enactments to hunting and raiding events. Various linguistic components, from narrative structure to obligatory grammatical categories, are systematically altered in certain forms of these activities. This repatterning of linguistic form is taken as evidence of native conscious awareness of language and performative efficacy. That is, a native theory of meaning, form, and social action relationships, termed metapragmatic awareness, is revealed in these ritual alterations.
