Lexicography of Malay language and Tutong dialect spoken in Brunei.
Di Nusantara, seni silat merupakan satu amalan biasa yang telah diamalkan sejak berabad lamanya. Namun paling ketara, amalan ini mula menonjol selepas merdeka (1957) sebagai satu saranan baharu kerajaan Malaysia untuk mewujudkan satu persatuan atau organisasi silat yang bernaung di bawah satu bumbung. Saranan tersebut disambut baik dengan kewujudan pelbagai nama, aliran perguruan dan sebagainya. Perkembangan ini turut dizahirkan melalui wujudnya pelbagai pendapat dalam pelbagai perspektif ilmu termasuklah sains sosial. Buku ini merangkumkan perkara-perkara yang berkaitan dengan seni silat dalam konteks perundangan Malaysia, perkembangan seni silat, pandangan Islam terhadap seni silat, amalan, teori dan konsep sosiologi, pergerakan dalam silat dan sebagainya.
