| Abstract | |
This research achieves a comparison of the kinship systems of Kulina, Deni, and Paumarí populations that speak related languages of the arawá language family and the Mehináku, Paresí, Terêna, Kurripako, Baníwa, Palikur, Piro e Wapixana that speaks arawak languages. We mapped the place where all the population of both linguistic families are found. The main focus is the kinship terminologies and we tried to investigate the relations that can be established between them and the marriage practices. Our study is guided by an assumption that all these systems that features bifurcate merging in G+1, can be linked by transformatiom rules. (AU) | |
