Talk:Kinship terminology
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I removed the section on English kinship terminology for three reasons.
- it does not exist. scholars who write on kinship terminologies call this eskimo kinsip terminology
- there is a link to an article on eskimo kinship terminology that goes into the details. if we have all the deatisl in this article, we would need all the details on Sudanese, Hawaiian, Croa, Omaha, and Iroqois terminologies too and the article would be too long. linked articles on the specifics make sense.
- the material I deleted is also in the Family article which goes into greater detail on "the family" in Weastern societies. I think people who want to learn about the family structure of western societies are more likely to go to the family article than the kinship terminology article. Anyway, it is silly to have the same content repeated in different articles.Slrubenstein | Talk 12:10, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
I also just removed a good deal of information on marriage and the family. These topics are different from kinship terminology and already have their own articles. I see no point in duplicating material in ther articles on related - but different - topics here. Let's just have links, and work on each article separately.

[edit] polish kinship
I removed this from the article ...
- Polish Polish genealogy use wider set of single words to more precisely describe familiar relationship. The uncle may be stryj father brother or wój mother brother. Aunt is ether stryjenka, wójenka or ciocia. The cousin are bracia (brothers) srtyjeczni, wójeczni or cioteczni. Bracia stryjeczni are also call bratanki while bracia cioteczni siostrzńce.
- Term wójenka stryjeczna is the (grand-)/father brother sister, this and all other terms are commonly used today when talking about or referring to family member. The system may be extended back with prefix grand - pra several generations back. Fuzzy maternal side ancestry is called pociot/y. Prefix pra may be used several times, for older relation is applied generic term seven waters after kisiel with some exception when bratanki are applied to Hungarian nation. The Polish Hungarian relationship has been recently proved by molecular genetics. The R1a haplogrup pointing to common biological father few millennia ago. Consult also Russian language family word племянник or племянница the plemie in Polish mean tribe while polish word for 'family' -rodzina is very similar to Rusian ‘‘rodina’’ which mean nation. The age distinguishing is created by suffixes. In old polish custom kids up to 7 years stay with mother, after postrzyżyny, go to father jurisdiction and get also new personal binominal single name. For mother father have gradual formal or friendly names and now 3 forms to refer to and one dual extinct. Even animals have different depending on sex names e.g. wolf: all walk, or personified wilcy or wilkowie, she wadera, he basior. It could be extended to all traditionally domesticated (extended family) animals e.g.: horse all konie, he ogier, she klacz, it zrebie. They ales have separate names for birth process. The animas even getting Christmas wishes (quite pagan by some) with specially prepared for them read oplatek. There are separate names for and for parents in love son/daughter in love, brothers in love. Parents and n-th ancestors have also general term Ojce. To word Ojce are related words Ojcowizna private estates or Ojczyzna estate of all. It should be noted that polish is not agglutinative language and the words are single words.
...because this is not one of the six systems laid out by Morgan. "Crow" kinship does not refer to the kindship of the Crow but to a system found widely around the world in different specific forms. This article is not the place to go into detail on every language. Besides, the above seems to violate NOR and NPOV. Slrubenstein | Talk 11:46, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Redirect
A number of terms redirect to this page but are not discussed here. For example, I came here via "Avunculocal" which is not mentioned at all in this article. Should the redirects be made into their own articles, or can someone flesh out the information here? 72.196.104.129 22:28, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
