“…Therefore, idioms play a significant role in showing the importance of a lexicon in certain ethnic activities. In other words, according to Raffaelli et al (2019), idioms are a part of the lexicon or special lexicons that show a close relationship between culture and language. An idiom contains word symbols with representations of the intent or meaning.…”

The present research is motivated by an examination of the intimate link between women, looms, and woven products. In ancient and traditional Sundanese cosmology, the loom is regarded as Nyai Pohaci's embodiment (the Goddess of Rice). It is not, therefore, unexpected that women and looms are intertwined. Even when looms are no longer employed, woven clothes should be present at Sundanese offerings. This study seeks to highlight, analyze, and compare the material artifacts that accompany Sundanese verbal objects in the Lutung Kasarung pantun. The artifacts consist of Sundanese weaving-specific idioms and lexicon. The source of the artifacts is the old Sundanese story of Lutung Kasarung, which offers information about human activities at the time. In this narrative, linguistic artifacts are juxtaposed with visual material artifacts that are now infrequently used or unknown. The study method employs descriptive comparative data gathering techniques with purposeful sampling, as well as visual comparative analytical data processing techniques. Findings reveal that: (1) the linguistic and visual artifacts of looms are classified into three usage categories: (a) spinning cotton into yarn, (b) preparing yarn for weaving, and (c) weaving yarn into cloth; (2) compared to the modern Baduy looms (pakara tinun), the linguistic and material relics are distinct and far less well-known among the population; and (3) in cultural interpretation, the loom becomes a symbol of Nyai Pohaci's sacrifice of her body for human wellbeing in the natural world and of Sundanese women's determination to settle down. In conclusion, there is a dialectical link between linguistic and visual material artifact comprehension.

“…Primero, adoptar una perspectiva interlingüística nos permite distinguir los patrones "universales" de aquellos que solo son específicos de una lengua (Raffaelli, Katunar y Kerovec, 2019). En otras palabras, al adoptar una perspectiva interlingüística, es posible demostrar que nuestros hallazgos no dependen de la idiosincrasia de una lengua concreta (Fischer et al, 2021(Fischer et al, , p. 1031.…”

Contexto e intención: Un estudio interlingüístico de la noción de significado en árabe, español e inglés

En filosofía del lenguaje existen tres comprensiones distintas de la idea de contexto: una noción intuitiva de contexto, el contexto-K (Lewis, 1980; Kaplan,1989) y el contexto como terreno común (Stalnaker, 2002). Asimismo, desde la misma filosofía se ha defendido la idea de que la lengua concreta que hablamos y en la que hacemos filosofía podría influir en las explicaciones filosóficas que desarrollamos para dar cuenta de ciertos fenómenos (Lucy, 1992; Blanco Salgueiro, 2017). Más concretamente, se ha defendido la posibilidad de la existencia de una estrecha relación entre significado e intención en inglés (Avramides, 1989; Blanco Salgueiro, 2017, 2023). Esto podría hacer que las explicaciones desarrolladas por los filósofos del lenguaje de habla inglesa estuvieran influidas por esta relación. El objetivo de este trabajo es doble. Primero, mostrar que la mencionada comprensión intencional del significado está presente en las tres nociones de contexto usadas en filosofía del lenguaje. Segundo, investigar empíricamente la relación entre significado e intención en tres lenguas distintas, inglés, árabe y español, para saber si las tres comprensiones del contexto pueden ser extrapolables a otras lenguas.

“…This is especially evident in linguistic differences in the categorization of colors. For instance, English distinguishes between blue and green, while many languages around the world do not (Davies et al, 1994; Davies & Corbett, 1997; Goldstein et al, 2009; Raffaelli et al, 2019). Even other European languages have linguistic color nuances that differ from English categories.…”

The constraints of racialization: How classification and valuation hinder scientific research on human variation

Human biological variation has historically been studied through the lens of racialization. Despite a general shift away from the use of overt racial terminologies, the underlying racialized frameworks used to describe and understand human variation still remain. Even in relatively recent anthropological and biomedical work, we can observe clear manifestations of such racial thinking. This paper shows how classification and valuation are two specific processes which facilitate racialization and hinder attempts to move beyond such frameworks. The bias induced by classification distorts descriptions of phenotypic variation in a way that erroneously portrays European populations as more variable than others. Implicit valuation occurs in tandem with classification and produces narratives of superiority/inferiority for certain phenotypic variants without an objective biological basis. The bias of racialization is a persistent impediment stemming from the inheritance of scientific knowledge developed under explicitly racial paradigms. It is also an internalized cognitive distortion cultivated through socialization in a world where racialization is inescapable. Though undeniably challenging, this does not present an insurmountable barrier, and this bias can be mitigated through the critical evaluation of past work, the active inclusion of marginalized perspectives, and the direct confrontation of institutional structures enforcing racialized paradigms.
