pg. 331-357
In the section headed "Describing Occupational Terms" I found this very relevant to my project. Basically they narrow it down to what they describe as verbal art and why it is important for an outsider to understand it. To really grasp the traditions and ideals of a certain subculture you really need to spend time observing it and in doing so you will run across these different types of verbal arts the subculture have adopted. Learning these "verbal arts" rather it be a certain behavior or language and having them explained to me in depth will really help my paper out in the end.
