Abstract

From the tradition of linguistic anthropology, the ideas of cultural diversity and the principle of linguistic relativity are taken up. In addition to highlighting the central authors who contributed to the study of language and its relationship with culture and thought, the approaches that emerged in the middle of the last century such as cognitive anthropology, ethnoscience and speech ethnography are taken up again. From a theoretical and methodological reflection, the importance of retaking the transdisciplinary perspective that integrates the analysis of cultural diversity, linguistic diversity and biodiversity is raised. Take into account the interaction of man with the environment that is essential for understanding collective memory and community knowledge.
