Exploring the conceptual and semantic structure of human kinship: An experimental investigation of Chinese kin terms
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 33 (5):392-394 (2010)
Abstract
We designed an experiment to test the application of optimality theory (OT) in kinship terminology studies. Specifically, we examined the OT constraints within a set of behavioral data using Chinese kin terms. The results from this behavioral approach support and extend Jones' linguistic approach by identifying underlying cognitive mechanisms that can explain and predict behavioral responses in kinship identificationMy notes
