Folklore and linguistics are clearly humanistic disciplines but within the field of anthropology are again centered on preliterate groups. Ethnology, or cultural anthropology (now commonly called “social anthropology”-almost exclusively so in Great Britain) , is functionally indistinct from sociology except for its traditional pre-occupation with preliterate society.
