	Dell Hymes
		Even at that young age, Hymes had a reputation as a strong linguist; his dissertation, completed in one year, was a grammar of the Kathlamet language spoken near the mouth of the Columbia and known primarily from Franz Boas’ work at the end of the 19th century.
		Hymes is a proponent of what he and others call “ethnopoetics,” an anthropological method of transcribing and analyzing folklore and oral narrative that pays attention to poetic structures within speech.
		Hymes clearly considers folklore and narrative a vital part of the fields of linguistics, anthropology and literature, and has bemoaned the fact that so few scholars in those fields are willing and able to adequately include folklore in its original language in their considerations (Hymes 1981:6-7).

		“Dell Hymes, Kenneth Burke’s ‘Identification,’ and the Birth of Sociolinguistics,” by Jay Jordan
		Hymes and others worried that new formal approaches, as well as the push for linguistics as an autonomous field, threatened to once again isolate linguists.
		Dell Hymes is considered by many to be the founder of the area known as Ethnography of Communication.

	Asian EFL Journal: English Language Teaching and Research Articles
		To Hymes, the consideration of the ability for use as part of competence necessitates a consideration of non cognitive factors such as motivation as partly determining competence and in the specification of competence, cognitive, affective and volitive factors should be considered together.
		Hymes` justifications for his development of the theory of communicative competence discussed so far are based on the language problems of disadvantaged children, communication capacity of normal children, the study of ethnography of symbolic forms, noncognitive factors such as motivation, cognitive, affective and volitive factors and educational practice.
		Hymes` other motive for his development of the theory of communicative competence on the criticism that Chomsky`s linguistic competence is a limitation in perspective is his consideration that the acquisition of competence for use can be stated in the same way as the acquisition of competence for grammar.

	Dell Hymes at AllExperts
		Hymes is a proponent of what he and others call "ethnopoetics," an anthropological method of transcribing and analyzing folklore and oral narrative that pays attention to poetic structures within speech.
		Hymes' goal, in his own mind, is to understand the artistry and "the competenceâ¦ that underlies and informs such narratives" (Hymes 2003:vii).
		Hymes clearly considers folklore and narrative a vital part of the fields of linguistics, anthropology and literature, and has bemoaned the fact that so few scholars in those fields are willing and able to adequately include folklore in its original language in their considerations (Hymes 1981:6-7).

	Dell Hymes's SPEAKING Mnemonic
		Sociolinguist Dell Hymes developed the following model to promote the analysis of discourse as a series of speech events and speech acts within a cultural context.
		"Setting refers to the time and place of a speech act and, in general, to the physical circumstances" (Hymes 55).The living room in the grandparents' home might be a setting for a family story.
		The aunt might imitate the grandmother's voice and gestures in a playful way, or she might address the group in a serious voice emphasing the sincerity and respect of the praise the story expresses.

	Theoretical Overview
		Dell Hymes is considered by many to be the founder of the area known as Ethnography of Communication.
		Hymes thought that by looking at how people actually use language, patterns could be discovered that otherwise would not be by just looking at the words themselves.
		To study the communication of a particular culture, Hymes proposed basic units that indicate which area of the culture one is most interested in examining.

	Penn GSE : Center for Urban Ethnography
		Hymes reminisced about the establishment of CUE with a grant from the Center for Studies of Metropolitan Problems of the National Institute of Mental Health, characterizing those beginnings as "finding a home" for both the center and the cluster of colleagues from anthropology, sociology, linguistics, folklore, and elsewhere, all interested in urban ethnography.
		Hymes was Penn GSE’s Dean at the time and Smith convened the Forum for the next six years, 1980-1985, until he moved to University of Alaska.
		One other thing that clearly Dell and David were both committed to was a social justice and activist agenda in their approaches to ethnography (though at the time those words were not usually used)-- a commitment to the people for whom and with whom the ethnographic work was done.

	Ethnolinguistic Notes, Series 3, Number 5
		Dell Hymes has been pointing out the importance of different ways of talking since at least 1961 (Hymes l961).
		The point of that term, he states, "..is the heuristic, or regulative, idea, that communicative conduct within a community comprises determinate patterns of speech activity, such that the communicative competence of persons comprises knowledge with regard to such patterns" (1974a: 45).

	ab_baldwin_commtheo_1\|Theories of Culture and Intercultural Co\|Beyond the Book\|Speech Codes Theory/Ethnography of Commu
		Stemming from the sociological work of Dell Hymes (1972), this approach has the aim of providing thick description of a single culture, rather than making predictions of behavior based on culture (or, rather, cultures as representative of underlying variables, such as individualism/collectivism).
		Hymes developed a framework for studying cultures and began to focus on the “ethnography of speaking.” One of his doctoral students, Gerry Philipsen, imported this approach to communication studies and has been one of the greatest proponents and expositors of this theory.
		He concluded that communication was, for these men, a resource to be used with status equals, but that various forms of aggressiveness were more the norm for communication with status inferiors (children, wives, outsiders to the community), and mediation by a third party the norm with status superiors (potential bosses, God).

	Dell Hymes developed a mnemonic device to describe the elements that make up any speech (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The first table is Dell Hymes’ framework for the analysis of multiple categories of speaking.
		These "footings" are basically multiple "roles" that the same person may play, switching from one situation to the next, from one identity to the next, form one interlocutor to the next, from one form of control over his or her speech to the next, etc.
		Goffman adds complexity to Dell Hymes’s analysis of participants by re-examining the simple notions of the "speaker" and "hearer" that are involved in every speech interaction.

		The first form, which he spends the least time describing, he calls "the social as well as the linguistic." This catch- phrase covers roughly the same ground as what is known as "applied linguistics." Specifically, he is concerned with linguistic theory applied to social situations in a way that does not challenge existing theory.
		The key for Hymes is that an adequate linguistic description must always be in terms of the speech community.

	Folklore
		Dell Hymes and Dennis Tedlock, both working with Native American texts, sought to represent those texts more appropriately, from a better, insider’s perspective, to reflect the way the stories were appreciated and understood by members of the cultures from which they came.
		One insight of performance theory focuses on rendering texts so that the artfulness of a given performative event may be manifested on the page (aesthetic sensibilities are to be discovered according to local understanding of language, speech patterns, genre, etc.).
		Tedlock, Hymes, Bauman, Sherzer, Gossen, and others demonstrate effectively that we may representing certain, especially artful oral texts on the page as poetry according to rhythms, repetition, etc., by transcribing with scrupulous attention to details such as pauses, loudness, and patterns of speech.

	The Ethnography of Speaking
		That the study of speech might be crucial to a science of man has been a recurrent anthropological theme.
		Towards the first of these, see Gumperz (1961); towards the other three, see respectively, Hymes (1961c, 1961a, and 1960a [for the typology at the close of the latter]).
		Some experimental testing has been done (see comment in Hymes 1961b), but we cannot adequately investigate the role of semantic habits in ordinary behavior without knowledge of the semantic habits that are available to play a role, and such knowledge can be gained only by description in relation to native contexts of use.
