Computer Enumeration of Significant Implicational Universals of Kinship Terminology
The discovery of general patterns and their subsequent explanation is a familiar method in linguistics and other cross-cultural research. This paper addresses the computerized enumeration of significant cultural and linguistic patterns, specifically implicational universals. We dispute published suggestions that the mechanical generation of universals is inadvisable, by arguing that such claims...
متن کاملReconstructing the Proto-Polynesian Terminology: Kinship Terminologies as Evolving Logical Structures
The kin term product calculations used by culture-bearers to compute kin relationships from kin terms without reference to genealogy are the basis for the structure of a kinship terminology and its underlying generative logic. The details of that logic account for differences in the structural forms for kinship terminologies. The structural form of the Polynesian kinship terminologies, like tha...
متن کاملA Phylogenetic Comparative Study of Bantu Kinship Terminology Finds Limited Support for Its Co-Evolution with Social Organisation

For populations which are organized into large agropastoral groupings of sedentary residence but not governed within the context of a centralised state, such as our study sample of 83 historical Bantu-speaking groups of sub-Saharan Africa, cultural kinship norms guide all aspects of ev...
متن کاملEstimating kinship in admixed populations.
Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) are commonly used for the mapping of genetic loci that influence complex traits. A problem that is often encountered in both population-based and family-based GWASs is that of identifying cryptic relatedness and population stratification because it is well known that failure to appropriately account for both pedigree and population structure can lead to s...
