Isi artikel

In the course of my work on a dictionary of Ojibwa, an Amerindian language of the Great Lakes region, I have come across a number of interesting lexical facts which constitute an important part of what speakers know about the reference of words but which are not generally included in semantic analysis as it is currently practiced.l In particular, while working on plant names, it came to my attention that there exist lexical taxonomies which have an existence based on, but separate from, the conceptual taxonomies they label (and which, in turn, are separate entities from the Linnean taxonomies which the Western mind tends to believe are the 'real' truth about biology). Even a cursory examination of the literature on ethnobiology will quickly reveal the language and culture specific nature of these lexical taxonomies and the conceptual taxonomies which underlie them. Berlin, Breedlove, and Raven (1973) (henceforth BBR) outline the basic principles governing the structure of such taxonomies which they refer to as folk taxonomies. 2
