Abstract
Jerzy Bartmiński (2009/2012) argues that a key project for ethnolinguistics is to explicate the cultural knowledge encoded in certain layers of the vocabulary of a given language. Vocabulary, in his view, occupies a privileged position in ethnolinguistic research, as it constitutes a classificatory network for the social experience of people speaking a given language.
