Abstract:

Anthropologic communications and the linguistics is the study of the relations between languages of the world. Anthropology is the great subject of interesting which is studying the humans, their behavior and evolution. The subject conveys a great importance and it is an inherently multidisciplinary subject, which draws upon information from diverse fields including humanities arts, social sciences, communications, languages/literature, genetics, geology, ethnology, psychology, and ecology to shed light on the human condition through time and space in the history of human evolution in this world. This strongly overlaps the field of linguistic anthropology, which is the branch of anthropology that studies humans through the languages that they use. Anthropological linguistics has had a major impact in the studies of such areas as visual perception (especially color) and bioregional democracy, both of which are concerned with distinctions that are made in languages about perceptions of the surroundings. The conventional linguistic anthropology also has implications for sociology and selforganization of peoples. The study on the people, for instance, reveals that their language employs six different and distinct words whose best English translation is "we the people of this world". Anthropological linguistics studies will do the distinctions, and relates them to types of societies and to actual bodily adaptation to the senses, as it studies distinctions made in communicative languages regarding the colours of the rainbow: seeing the tendency to increase the diversity of terms, as evidence that there are distinctions that bodies in this environment must make its own course, leading with the situated wisdom/knowledge and perhaps a situated ethics, which is the final evidence is to differentiate to set of terms used to denote "we the people of this world".
