Abstract

Being able to speak and understand local languages is regarded as an important prerequisite for conducting fieldwork. In this article we reflect on fieldwork in which we did not speak the local language - Polish - but in which we could still learn something about a central practice in our field sites: how language was implicated in practices of care. Hanging out as linguistically constricted researchers propelled us to research situations in which care was done through using words as sounds and practices, rather than relying on meanings, and to relate to not sharing a language in new ways.

不用说就能研究单词。波兰多语种护理环境中的语言护理实践。

能够说并理解当地语言被认为是进行实地考察的重要先决条件。在这篇文章中，我们反思了我们不讲当地语言波兰语的实地工作，但在我们的实地工作中，我们仍然可以学到一些关于我们现场的核心实践的东西:语言如何与护理实践相关联。作为语言上受到限制的研究人员，我们开始研究一些情况，在这些情况下，通过将单词作为声音和实践来进行关注，而不是依赖于意义，并与不以新的方式共享一种语言联系起来。

期刊介绍： Medical Anthropology provides a global forum for scholarly articles on the social patterns of ill-health and disease transmission, and experiences of and knowledge about health, illness and wellbeing. These include the nature, organization and movement of peoples, technologies and treatments, and how inequalities pattern access to these. Articles published in the journal showcase the theoretical sophistication, methodological soundness and ethnographic richness of contemporary medical anthropology. Through the publication of empirical articles and editorials, we encourage our authors and readers to engage critically with the key debates of our time. Medical Anthropology invites manuscripts on a wide range of topics, reflecting the diversity and the expanding interests and concerns of researchers in the field.
