A phylogenetic analysis of the evolution of Austronesian sibling terminologies.

Human biology - 1 Apr 2011

Jordan Fiona M

Abstract excerpt

Social structure in human societies is underpinned by the variable expression of ideas about relatedness between different types of kin. We express these ideas through language in our kin terminology: to delineate who is kin and who is not, and to attach meanings to the types of kin labels associated with different individuals. Cross-culturally, there is a regular and restricted range of patterned variation in...
