Without a dictionary or analysis of grammer, anthropological linguistics attempts to study the structure and history of language. In effort to find the reason for a differing construction among common languages, these anthropologists study the change of language through ages and how it pertains to specific peoples. Often dealing with unwritten language, historical lingustics reconstructs ther roots of contemporary languages by causing those who study it to listen to a spoken language of a remote people. Much trouble with such efforts are that when the people of an unwritten language die, there is no trace of that language because there is no evidense of its exsistence in all actuality. |
