Abstract

This article outlines a new approach to analyzing qualitative data such as are obtained in ethnographic and historical research. A computer program can conduct maximally efficient elicitations of information and organize data into cognitive structures which are visually represented in the form of directed graphs. Action grammars can be constructed, and these formal models of verbally defined happenings can be tested and refined through analysis of incidents. Keywords: ethnography, culture, modeling, data analysis.
