A phylogenetic analysis of the evolution of Austronesian sibling terminologies

Human Biology Vol/Iss. 83(2) Wayne State University Press Published In Pages: 83(2)
By Jordan, Fiona M.

Hypothesis

The models of change of age- and sex- distinctions of Austronesian sibling terminologies will have dependent evolutionary trajectories.

Note

"The models of change used here trace the independent histories of the age- and sex- distinctions, and do not rely on typologies. Further, they are independent of any particular phylogenetic hypothesis about prehistory." (315)
