In Batek, both iconic and avoidant speech forms only have the desired effect when their sounds are at the same time like, and different to, their referents. This necessary coexistence of likeness and difference in particular speech forms resonates with the sought for coexistence of alterity and affinity in Batek interpersonal relationships. Attention to how likeness and difference co-exist in moments when iconic and avoidant speech forms are uttered, thus challenges entrenched, binary notions of alterity and affinity in anthropological practice more broadly.

隐藏的相似性：Batek 中的回避和标志性

在 Batek 中，标志性和回避性语音形式只有在它们的声音同时与它们的所指对象相似但又不同时才具有预期的效果。这种在特定言语形式中相似性和差异性的必要共存与寻求在 Batek 人际关系中的他异性和亲和力共存产生共鸣。关注相似性和差异性如何在说出标志性和回避性语音形式的时刻共存，从而更广泛地挑战人类学实践中根深蒂固的二元性概念。
