Social Structure Space And Possession In Tongan Culture And Language written by Svenja Völkel and has been published by John Benjamins Publishing this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2010-11-17 with Language Arts & Disciplines categories.

This interdisciplinary study investigates the relationship between culture, language and cognition based on the aspects of social structure, space and possession in Tonga, Polynesia. Grounded on extensive field research, Völkel explores the subject from an anthropological as well as from a linguistic perspective. The book provides new insights into the language of respect, an honorific system which is deeply anchored in the societal hierarchy, spatial descriptions that are determined by socio-cultural and geocentric parameters, kinship terminology and possessive categories that perfectly express the system of social status inequalities among relatives. These examples impressively show that language is deeply anchored in its cultural context. Moreover, the linguistic structures reflect the underlying cognitive frame of its speakers. Just as several cultural practices (sitting order, access to land and gift exchange processes) the linguistic means are not only expressions of stratified social networks but also tools to maintain or negotiate the underlying socio-cultural system.

Since the late 1960s Tongans have been leaving their islands in large numbers and settling in many different nations. Tongans Overseas is a timely look at their settlement experiences as they relate to cultural identity, particularly among the younger generations raised outside Tonga. What does being Tongan mean to these young people? Why do some proudly proclaim and cherish their Tongan identities while others remain ambivalent, confused, or indifferent? Helen Morton Lee's innovative research offers insights into these and many other questions, revealing the complexities of identity construction in the context of migration and the varied ways in which individuals seek a sense of belonging. Using both traditional ethnographic fieldwork and newly popular Internet discussion forums, where young Tongans speak their minds and describe their experiences, Lee has produced the most comprehensive study of Tongan migrants to date. Throughout the book diasporic Tongans speak eloquently about their lives, and case studies of families and individuals bring the analysis to life. Lee explores tensions within overseas communities, especially the intergenerational conflicts that are contributing to the alienation of many young Tongans today.

Volume 41 in the Hakluyt Society Third Series, An Account of the Natives of the Tonga Islands in the South Pacific Ocean, is the pioneering account of Tonga by John Martin (1789-1869) who was a London-based, Edinburgh-educated medical man interested in anthropological subjects. This is his only book. He was inspired to write it by a chance encounter with its subject, William Mariner (1791-1853) who spent four years (1806-1810) in Tonga, in the South Pacific, one of the earliest European residents at a time before there was much European influence on the Tongan way of life. Mariner, an extraordinarily mature and perceptive youth, learnt to speak the Tongan language and became familiar with Tongan culture after he was adopted as a son of the most powerful chief in Tonga. Martin successful relationship with Mariner resulted in a compelling story and a comprehensive account of Tongan society which has since become a classic description of a largely pre-European polynesian culture. Martin's book is both an extraordinary real-life adventure story and a pioneering work of anthropology, and for 200 years it has been a primary and authoritative source for research into Tongan history and culture. An Account of the Natives of the Tonga Islands in the South Pacific Ocean is strongly recommended for anyone interested polynesian culture and the history of the South Pacific, and also to those interested in maritime exploration during the late 18th century and the first half of the 19th century. The book also contains an extensive treatment of the Tongan language. -- publisher's website.
