Linguistic anthropologists attempt to infer the tacit system of categories and patterns (or “grammar”) that allow members of a culture group to communicate with one another. The field for linguistic anthropology is any community in which the system is used. If the researcher is an outsider to the system, there are two possible approaches: a monolingual approach or a common language approach. In either case, there are several recurring “stages” of research that one may take. This entry briefly describes the two general approaches and the five stages of linguistic anthropological field research
