Description and Table of Contents

Description

In the second volume of Systematic Fieldwork the authors concentrate on data analysis and communication of results. They explain the processes involved in data analysis using ethnoscience ethnography: establishing appropriate mechanisms of data retrieval, uncovering the cognitive structures, devising verbal action plans and decision models, analyzing oral texts, and utilizing a variety of techniques for data reduction. They then show how to translate the accumulated data into an ethnographic report.
