英文摘要 |
Dr. Ruey Yih-fu of Taiwan has kindly submitted to me the full kinship terminology collected by him among the Yachio or Han Miao of southern Szechuan, who call themselves Hmong Ntsu. This system is exceedingly interesting not only for its elaborateness, but because of striking semantic differences of detail from standard Chinese, whereas its basic pattern or fundamental classificatory plan is even more strikingly similar to that of Chinese, in spite of the languages differing radically in their word forms. The purpose of these paragraphs is to summarize these differences and likenesses. |
