  7. There will be a relationship "between a long postpartum sex taboo and brother-sister avoidance" (185)Nerlove, Sara - Sibling terminology and cross-sex behavior, 1967 - 2 Variables

    This article examines variation in kinship terminology. The authors develop a new typology of kinds of kinship terminologies, and they propose that terminologies will distinguish siblings of the same and opposite gender when there is a cultural emphasis on cross-sex relations. Empirical analysis supports that a prolonged post-partum sex taboo (rather than sibling avoidance) predicts the presence of a primary cross-parallel component in sibling terminology.
