"Foley's book illustrates quite convincingly that 'Linguistics without anthropology is sterile, anthropology without linguistics is blind'(Hockett 1973: 675)" Gunter Senft, Max-Planck-Institute for Psycholinguistics
"I applaud Foley for having overcome one of the main constraints of structuralist - inspired approaches to analysis" Peter Muhlhausler, University of Adelaide
