Problem
I have argued, following Clifford Geertz, that the basis of good ethnographic description is "tacking" between an emic, or "experience-near" understanding of local concepts, and paired etic, or "experience-distant" terms of comparison. First, explain the nature of the linguistic concepts of phonemes and phonetics that this notion of emic/etic comes from, and then give a detailed comparison of two different pairs of terms (emic & etic) from any two of the readings we've done this semester (or, for those of you in a face-to-face ANTH 5, from your ethnographic monograph).
