pg 331-357

In this section of reading the "Describing Occupational Terms" was extremely helpful for me and my current situation with my paper. In this small portion of the reading it talks about how to collect verbal art of a subculture, and how to explain it to outsiders. With my paper there are many terms and words that no one outside the subculture would understand, and because of that I have to what seems like overwriting just to explain a term. It gave me the idea on how to have the person being interviewed to explain something that would otherwise be misunderstood to a "foreign" reader.
