I suspect that the answers will differ depending on the source you use. Here is one source to consider: Anthropology as a whole is classically divided into 4 fields. These are: -Physical Anthropology -Archaeology -Linguistics -Cultural (or Social) Anthropology. Sub-specialties for Cultural Anthropology include the following: 1. Ethnomusicology 2. Foklore and Folkart 3. Linguistics (Yes, I know, it is also seen as a branch of Anthropology, but you really can't fully separate linguistics from cultural anthropology). 4. Ethnography and Ethnology. The first is descriptive of a culture. The second is comparative between cultures. 5. Applied anthropology. This is where anthropology leaves the academia. Applying principles to real situations. 6. Educational anthropology (How do people learn. Is it affected by culture?) 7. Social Anthropology (including kinship and social structure) 8. Psychological Anthropology These are the subsets in Practical Missions Anthrolopology. It is entirely possible that other courses of study in Cultural Anthropology my group things different. That may be the reason that some others have posed questions on this sight regarding the three or the five sub-fields of CA. Hopefully someone with more background in secular CA may be able to give insight in a different breakdown.
