  abstract = 	{This paper presents a componential analysis of the kinship terminology of two groups of Senoi (Semai) studied by the author -- termed eastern and western in this source.  According to Dentan the eastern group were far less acculturated to the predominant Malay society than were the western Semai.  A comparison of the terminology of the two groups, in light of Semai rules regarding proper terminological usage, seems to indicate several inconsistencies which suggest ``{\ldots}that a modified componential analysis conforms to the cognitive categories of the Semai if the extensionist hypothesis that terms have both primary and derived meaning is taken into account'' (p. 358-A)."  The exposition of this line of reasoning makes up the major bulk of this source.},
