anthropologist
/ˌæn.θɹoʊˈpɑl.ə.d͡ʒɪst/
anthropologist noun: an expert in anthropology.
Noun
anthropologist (plural anthropologists)
- An expert in anthropology.
- In actual fact, it is hard to see how anyone could defend the prescriptive approach. In any other field of enquiry, it would be seen as patently absurd. What would we say of the social anthropologist who, instead of describing the way a given society is, sets about prescribing the way he thinks it...1988, Andrew Radford, Transformational Grammar, Cambridge: University Press, →ISBN, page 8
- In traditional anthropology, somebody goes to another country, says: “How fascinating these people are! How interesting their tools and their culture are,” and then they write a paper, and maybe a few other anthropologists read it, and we think these cultures are very exotic.2012 December 5, Amber Case, “Cyborg anthropologist: We can all be superhuman”, in CNN
