Austin: University of Texas Press, 1995. Hardcover. 8vo. 382 pp., 107 figures, 3 maps, 26 halftones and 3 tables.

This study of contemporary uses of PST offers a theoretical approach to language and the body that transcends the 'intellectualist' versus 'phenomenological' impasse in social and linguistic theory.
