本研究探讨了参与者如何通过话语使自愿的亲属关系变得合理和合法。对110个访谈的解释性分析揭示了四种主要的自愿亲属类型：(i)替代家庭，（ii）补充家庭，（iii）便利家庭和（iv）大家庭。这些类型通过借鉴传统家庭的话语而变得合理和合法。除了大家庭外，四种自愿亲属家庭类型中有三种是由血统和法律家庭的缺陷所证明的。因为自愿的亲属关系不是基于血缘或法律联系的传统标准，成员将其视为潜在的挑战，需要通过论述工作使其对他人具有意义和合法性。
This study explored how participants discursively rendered voluntary kin relationships sensical and legitimate. Interpretive analyses of 110 interviews revealed four main types of voluntary kin: (i) substitute family, (ii) supplemental family, (iii) convenience family, and (iv) extended family. These types were rendered sensical and legitimated by drawing on the discourse of the traditional family. Except for the extended family, three of four voluntary kin family types were justified by an attributed deficit in the blood and legal family. Because voluntary kin relationships are not based on the traditional criteria of association by blood or law, members experience them as potentially challenging, requiring discursive work to render them sensical and legitimate to others.
