	Systematic Kinship Terminologies (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Lewis Henry Morgan, a 19th century pioneer in kinship studies, surmised that the Hawaiian system resulted from a situation of unrestricted sexual access or "primitive promiscuity" in which children called all members of their parental generation father and mother because paternity was impossible to acertain.
		Hawaiian kinship semantics are now thought to be related to the presence and influence of ambilineal descent systems.
		This terminology occurs in societies that are organized on the basis of unilineal descent, where distinctions between father's kin and mother's kin are critical.

	ORB -- Kinship Terminology
		Kinship terms were used in a variety of ways in the diplomatic, legal, and literary sources of the Medieval period.
		It was not unusual for family members to use a variety of kinship terms intrafamilially to specify or acknowledge situations of common experience or to indicate pleasure or displeasure with a kinsman.
		The thread through each of the situations, which used kinship terminology was this: in each case the relationship was ideally safe and it was ideally reciprocal, just as the family was ideally safe and ideally reciprocal.

		Aboriginal kinship terms tend to play down actual blood relationships and to highlight instead the overall structure of the clan or tribe.
		The terminology may be cyclical so that I apply the same term to both my father’s father and my son’s son.
		Another way in which kinship terminology reflects social structure rather than degree of blood relationship lies in the use of terms to refer to classes of individuals.

	Calculating Kin
		Most kinship terminologies make use of these in some part of the terminology, and not in others.
		For a terminology to be useful (and reduce the information necessary to learn the system), there must be a systematic way to assign kinship names to individuals, e.g.
		Kinship terms are distinct from genealology, but must provide a means to address the assignment problem.

		For example, most kinship terminologies distinguish between genders (this is the difference between a brother and a sister) and between generation (this is the difference between a sister and a mother).
		Societies in different parts of the world and using different languages may share the same basic terminology; in such cases it is very easy to translate the kinship terms of one language into another.
		But it is usually impossible to translate directly the kinship terms of a society that uses one system into the language of a society that uses a different system.

	kinship
		As she pointed out, city life was more "precarious": crowded living conditions and the ever present threat of plague together with the relative anonymity of new arrivals gave added weight to relationships with neighbours and distant kinsmen who provided a source of support and reassurance and a lifeline to the provinces.
		This dramatic change in focus, from the idea of the monolithic "kinship community" overseeing every facet of rural life, to the isolated family, household and individual, causes us to re-appraise the importance of family and kinship in Appleby in the early modern period.
		Wills have an especial relevance to kinship as bridging documents tidying up the loose ends of property for the coming generation, They also reveal the will writer's perception of family priorities as the testator's choice of legatees, executors and overseers provides important information about social links both within and outside the family circle.

	Feinberg and Ottenheimer/The Cultural Analysis of Kinship. Chapter 8 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		And, where kinship does provide a model of relatedness, it is an empirical question whether or not physical reproduction (or engendering) is a primary meaning of kinship, or whether relatedness can be achieved in other equally important or more important ways (1984: 200-201).
		Even when we accept the notion that kinship is negotiable—as in adoption or artificial insemination or other reproductive strategies involving several persons—it seems necessary that the child belong to one small family and not several.
		Examples abound where "kinship" is adapted to the economic, social, and political needs of the people, or, if we want to focus on the "politics of culture," at least some of the people in a particular society (Franco 1993; Tiffany 1974).

		This book is an introduction to the social anthropology of kinship - to the ways in which the peoples of different cultures marry and relate to each other within and outside the family, and to the means by which one generation relates to those that come before and after it.
		Part I opens with a discussion of what kinship means to the social anthropologist as distinct from the biologist, and considers the different possible approaches to the subject within social anthropology itself.
		The following chapters cover topics such as descent, inheritance, succession, the family, residence, marriage, kinship terminology, systems of affinal alliance, the new reproductive technologies, and symbolic approaches to kinship.

		There's no language in which kinship terminology maps perfectly onto contemporary notions of biological relatedness.
