音乐人类学和民族音乐学是不同的学科

Anthropology of Music Is a Different Discipline from Ethnomusicology

“音乐人类学”和“民族音乐学”都是交叉学科。因为这两个学科都研究“人”和“音乐”,又都做田野工作,所以它们的研究范围和方法很接近。然而,前者通过“音乐”研究“人”,是人类学的分支学科,后者通过“人”研究“音乐”,是音乐学的分支学科,两者不能混淆,更不能混为一谈。

Both anthropology of music and ethnomusicology are interdisciplinary disciplines dealing with people and music,and they both do field work,so their scope and methods are very similar whereas the former studies people through music,which is a branch of anthropology,and the latter studies music through people,which is a branch of musicology.Those two disciplines are not one and they cannot be confused.
