Tradition as Truth and Communication: A Cognitive Description of Traditional Discourse - Cambridge Studies in Social and Cultural Anthropology

Tradition as Truth and Communication deals particularly with oral communication and focuses on the privileged role of licensed speakers and the ritual contexts in which certain aspects of tradition are characteristically transmitted. Drawing on cognitive psychology, Dr Boyer proposes a set of general hypotheses to be tested by ethnographic field research.
