A Structural Semantic Analysis of Kinship Terms in the Squamish Language
Academic Work
The main intent of this paper is to do a structural semantic analysis of kinship terms in the Squamish Language. Such an analysis aims to discover the structure of the system, i.e., the criteria of 'rules' of kin classification in the Squamish Language that distinguish the several categories belonging to any particular system, and at the same time relate them to each other. My goal is to formulate a model of the semantics of certain Squamish words as they are employed to designate categories of kin. The primary denotata (or focal types) for each term will be analyzed.
