About anthropology in LinguaLinks

Anthropology provides essential help for living and working in a cross-cultural situation and for carrying out research. As a discipline it involves gathering, processing, interpreting, creating, and applying sociocultural data.

Anthropology should not be seen as just a separate pigeonhole in your field work "desk," but a research approach to help you in your entire field experience. Good anthropological research should undergird each stage of a field project. If it is done well, it will enhance the outcome of the whole project.

LinguaLinks offers a range of anthropological helps for field workers in all phases of their projects.

These helps include

reference materials and research methodologies available in the Anthropology bookshelf, and
an interactive computer tool, Shoebox, for recording, interpreting, and writing your data.

Note:

If you have a Library-only license for LinguaLinks, you can access reference materials in the Library as well as the stand alone software (including Shoebox) in the /Software folder. You do not, however, have access to the data management tools in the LinguaLinks workshops.
