This chapter outlines the general convergence of theoretical sensibilities between linguistic anthropology and sociocultural anthropology over the last four decades. It explores some reasons for the fields' separateness, including imaginative limitations to the ideas of representation held by sociocultural anthropologists, and limitations on linguistic anthropologists' valuing of the ethnographic monograph. The chapter opens up one important question at the heart of these two fields' relation, namely the issue of distinctions and interconnections between linguistic and more-than-linguistic layers of human worlds. It surveys a few ways anthropologists today join together linguistic and more-than-linguistic materials theoretically. The chapter supports greater recognition of unity of figurational processes across human lifeworlds. It suggest this unity can be productively articulated at least in an initial way by extending the concepts of indexicality and iconicity more widely than is commonly done.
