Componential Analysis of Kinship Terminology [electronic resource] : A Computational Perspective /
Pericliev, V.author.
This book presents the first computer program automating the task of componential analysis of kinship vocabularies. The book examines the program in relation to two basic problems: the commonly occurring inconsistency of componential models; and the huge number of alternative componential models.
