Keith Hamilton Basso is a cultural and linguistic anthropologist noted for his study of the Western Apaches (specifically those from the community of Cibecue, Arizona) since 1959. He currently teaches anthropology at the University of New Mexico. Dell Hathaway Hymes (1927 - 2009) was a linguist, sociolinguist, anthropologist, and folklorist who established disciplinary foundations for the comparative, ethnographic study of language use. His research focused upon the languages of the Pacific Northwest. He was one of the first to call the fourth subfield of anthropology 'linguistic anthropology' instead of 'anthropological linguistics'. The terminological shift draws attention to the field's grounding in anthropology rather than in what, by that time, had already become an autonomous discipline (linguistics). In 1972 Hymes founded the journal 'Language in Society' and served as its editor for 22 years. XXI + 120 pag.
