AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This article discusses the terms Huichol villagers use in addressing family members and other relatives. It shows that the most important semantic discriminations in Huichol kinship terms have to do with affinity, distance, and generational separation. By contrast, the Huichol make progressively fewer general distinctions based on the relative age and sex of both the speaker and the referent.
