Abstract

IN this volume Dr. Malinowski has given the first-fruits of his extended stay in the Trobriands, a group of islands off the south-east of New Guinea. A good deal of more or less desultory information, published in Government reports and elsewhere, has indicated that these islanders differ in some respects from their neighbours; Dr. Malinowski now shows how intimately they are all associated with one another, not merely by ordinary trade, but by a hitherto unrecorded and very remarkable system of ceremonial exchange, known as Kula, with which this book is almost solely concerned.Argonauts of the Western Pacific: An Account of Native Enterprise and Adventure in the Archipelagoes of Melanesian New Guinea.By Dr. Bronislaw Malinowski.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
