The Historical and Prehistoric research on the Khoisan Kinship terminology.

1.我发现有两个事实与异常的亲属分类系统相关，即“分裂舅舅模式（F=FyB≠FeB=MB）”。这是一种婚姻规则，控制着如何与兄弟姐妹结婚；以及如何确定近亲和同父异母兄弟姐妹之间的高级/初级地位的规则。我将相邻的社区划分为具有“分裂叔叔模式”的G/ui组（即G/ui）。G//ana, Tsera，和=Hoa ~)通过他们是否有这两个规则，并推测如何将普通的“易洛魁”模式转变为分裂的叔叔模式。我调查了G/ui亲属术语的语法行为，发现他们有两种类型。一种类型是名词性的，用作指称的术语，用在异名中，不把性别区别词汇化。这种类型被认为是更基本的系统，不容易被任何外来词取代。另一种类型只是名义上的，用作称呼，没有词汇化性别差异，通常是借词。然后，我认为这种语法差异可以作为区分原始中央科瓦桑族亲属术语和新借用的亲属术语的标准，这自然会导致对“更古老”的中央科瓦桑族亲属系统的重新考虑。我收集了各种新旧科伊桑人的资料：从字典中，我收集了亲属术语及其语法和语义信息；从文本中，我提取了包含亲属关系术语的句子；从显示亲属制度的人类学研究中，我收集了亲属术语和对亲属行为的描述。在这些资料的基础上，我编制了各语族亲属术语的新表、新表、新图。有了这些数据，我检查了零星报道的中部科伊桑族亲属用语的口头行为；我发现玩笑班比回避班接受了更多的外来词和变化。关于这些话题，我还在写文章。

1.I found that there are two facts systematically related to the anomalous kinship categorization, "split nuncle pattern (F=FyB≠FeB=MB). That is, a marriage rule which controls how to get married to siblings ; and a rule how to determine the senior/junior position among parallel cousins and half siblings. I classified the neighboring communities to the G/ui group that has the "split nuncle pattern" (namely, G/ui. G//ana, Tsera, and =Hoa〜)by whether they have these two rules or not, and speculated about how to the ordinary "Iroquois" pattern can change into the split nuncle pattern.2.I investigated the grammatical behavior of G/ui kinship terms and found that there are two types of them. The one type is nomino-verbal, used as terms of reference, used in teknonymy, and does not lexicalize sex distinctions. This type is regarded more basic to the system, and is not easily replaced with any loan words. The other type is only nominal, used as terms of address, does lexicalize sex distinctions, and is often loan word. I then argued that this grammatical difference can serve as a criterion for distinguishing original Central Khoisan kinship terms from newly borrowed ones, which naturally leads to the reconsideration of the "older" Central Khoisan kinship system.3.I collected various old and new Khoisan data : From dictionaries, I picked up kinship terms and their grammatical and semantic information ; from texts, I extracted sentences containing kinship terms ; and from anthropological studies which show kinship systems I collected kinship terms and descriptions about kinship behaviors. Based on all these data I made up new lists, tables, and figures on kinship terminology of each language community. With these data, I examine the sporadically reported verbal behaviors of Central Khoisan kinship terms ; and I found that joking class have accepted more loan words and changed than avoidance class. On these topics, I am still in the process of writing up articles.
