Name of creator(s) : Michael Moerman

Scope and content : Moerman cites the work of the anthropologist Tambiah (1968) on the relationship between words and their context. The meaning of words reveals power, which in turn has an influence on belief. This is demonstrated, for example, in the relationship between words and religions (gods) in many cultures including Hindu, Egyptian and Sumerians.
