Esther Schiff Goldfrank (1896 – 23 April 1997) was an anthropologist of the famous German-American Schiff family.
 She had studied with Franz Boas and specialized in the Pueblo Indians.
 She worked closely with Elsie Clews Parsons and also with Ruth Benedict on the Blackfoot.
 She published on Pueblo religion, Cochiti sociology and Isleta drawings.
 Goldfrank received her bachelor's degree from Barnard College in 1918 and graduated from Columbia University in 1937.
The Chrysanthemum and the Sword: Patterns of Japanese Culture is a 1946 study of Japan by American anthropologist Ruth Benedict.
 It was written at the invitation of the U.S. Office of War Information, in order to understand and predict the behavior of the Japanese in World War II by reference to a series of contradictions in traditional culture.
 The book was influential in shaping American ideas about Japanese culture during the occupation of Japan, and popularized the distinction between guilt cultures and shame cultures.
Mary LeCron Foster (February 1, 1914 – December 9, 2001) was an American anthropological linguist, who spent most of her working life at the Department of Anthropology at the University of California, Berkeley.
 Foster carried out graduate work in anthropology under the direction of Ruth Benedict.
 The influence of Franz Boas, whom she also knew at Columbia, may be seen in Foster’s interests in symbolism and language origins.
 In addition to writing grammars of Sierra Popoluca and Purépecha, she published several articles purporting to reconstruct spoken Primordial Language (PL).
 PL, she maintained, was constructed out of speech sounds she dubbed ‘phememes’ that were at the same time roots, whose meaning was motivated by the shaping and movement of the vocal tract.
Tales of the Cochiti Indians is a 1931 work by Ruth Benedict.
 It collects the folk tales of the Cochiti Puebloan peoples in New Mexico.
 The book is considered an important work in the discipline of feminist anthropology.
 Following development of the "culture and personality" school of anthropology by her colleague Edward Sapir and influenced by Margaret Mead, Benedict sought psychological patterns in the stories she collected.

 She is best known for her work with the Kwakwaka'wakw people of coastal British Columbia, Canada, known formerly as the "Kwakiutl."
Styling, a branch of applied linguistics, is the study and interpretation of texts in regard to their linguistic and tonal style.
 As a discipline, it links literary criticism to linguistics.
 It does not function as an autonomous domain on its own, and it can be applied to an understanding of literature and journalism as well as linguistics.
 Sources of study in stylistics may range from canonical works of writing to popular texts, and from advertising copy to news, non-fiction, and popular culture, as well as to political and religious discourse.
 Indeed, as recent work in critical stylistics, multimodal stylistics and mediated stylistics has made clear, non-literary texts may be of just as much interest to stylisticians as literary ones.
 Literariness, in other words, is here conceived as 'a point on a cline rather than as an absolute'.
