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. Explain the nature of the linguistic concepts of phonemes and phonetics that this notion of emic/etic comes from,
Emic is derived from the linguistic term phonemic while etic is derived from the linguistic term phonetic
Step-by-step explanation
Phonemics regard to elements of meaning.
Phonetics regard elements of sound.
Some of the researchers use "etic" to refer to objective or outsider accounts, and "emic" to refer to subjective or insider accounts.
