Si, Aung.
The Traditional Ecological Knowledge of the Solega : A Linguistic Perspective by Aung Si - 1st ed. - Cham Springer International Publishing 2016 - 1 recurso en línea (XII, 252 páginas) 25 ilustraciones, 10 ilustraciones en color - Ethnobiology 2365-7553 .
Introduction -- Ethnotaxonomies and Universals: Investigating some Key Assumptions -- Plants in Solega Language and Culture -- Solega Ethno-ornithology -- Landscape terms in Solega -- Signs and Relationships -- Honeybee Lore -- Conclusions.
This book covers the ethnobiology and traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) of the Solega people of southern India. Solega TEK is shown to be a complex, inter-related network of detailed observations of natural phenomena, well-reasoned and often highly accurate theorizing, as well as a belief system, derived from cultural norms, regarding the relationships between humans and other species on the one hand, and between non-human species on the other. As language-based studies are strongly biased toward investigations of ethno-taxonomy and nomenclature, the importance of studying TEK in its proper context is discussed as making context and encyclopedic knowledge the objects of study are essential for a proper understanding of TEK.
