基诺族中学生的亲属词概念结构及其成因

The Character and Reason of Kinship Words of Jinuo Ethnic Group

运用自然分类和多维标度方法,探讨基诺族中学生的亲属词概念结构特点。结果发现,基诺族中学生的亲属词概念结构有两个维度:(1)亲密程度;(2)照顾者/被照顾者。这与汉族中学生的亲属词概念结构既有相同之处,又有明显差异。我们认为,这与基诺族的血缘婚制度以及马来亚式亲属制度等历史积淀有关,也与基诺族跨越式发展中他文化的渗透和主文化的变迁有关。

The purpose of this paper was to investigate the characteristic of conceptual structure of kinship words in Jinuo-middleschool -students＇ mind,and to try to provide justifications for the structure.The subjects were 69 students（22 males and 47 famales）, and all came from Jinuo middle school.The materials used were 62 kinship words from Zhang et al.＇ s study（2004）,including 10 core relative words,20 in-laws,18 uncle cousins,8 second immediate relatives and 6 foster relatives.Considering that the Jinuo etlunice group nationality doesn＇ t have its own words,all words were presented randomly on a piece of paper in Chinese characters.The participants were asked to classify the 62 kinship words according to their own criteria in 30 minutes.The responses were analyzed using multidimensional scaling method. The results showed that around 32 percent of students sorted kinship terms into three categories.The average classification category was 4.2.This was basically identical to that of the students from Han ethnic group.There were two dimensions in the conceptual structure of kinship words of Jinuo ethis group one being the intimate level of relative,and the other being considered as people/people who were looked after.There were the same and difference between the conceptual structure of kinship words of Jinuo and that of Han nationality. From our Perspective,these differences came from the Jinuo＇ s marriage system of blood relationship,Malaya relative system,and also Jinuo language or language characteristic and ＂direct transition＂ leapfrog development relevant.The is that while being about past traditional culture accumulation,we should also pay attention to the social development of the cultural permeating and change.
