Publication Date 1956-12-01 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Reminiscences of Anthropological Currents in America Half a Century Ago ROBERT H. LOWIE University of California HE Editor of the AMERICAN ANTHROPOLOGIST has asked me to offer "some T discussion and analysis of the intellectual ferment, the various ideas and interests, and the important factual discoveries in their relationship to these ideas, that were current during the period of your early years as an anthropolo­ gist." In responding I shall have to go far afield. The task suggested implies nevertheless two noteworthy restrictions. Factual discoveries are irrelevant (except as they influenced ideas), as is administrative promotion of scientific interests. Accordingly, though sharing Sapir's judgment that as a field worker J. O. Dorsey was "ahead of his age," I must ignore him for present purposes. Again, there will be only brief references to Frederic Ward Putnam (1839-1915) and to Frederic Webb Hodge (1864-1956); as to Powell and McGee, only their thinking demands extended notice. It is well to recall that in 1904, when I began graduate work, only Columbia, Harvard, and California had full-fledged academic departments of anthropol­ ogy, but the Field Museum, a descendant of the Chicago World's Fair of 1893, had been fostering research, as had the Bureau of American Ethnology and the United States National Museum.

The work tries to describe the current state of knowledge concerning socially conditioned language variation in the subcontinent. Each of five major language families contains numerous mutually intelligible and unintelligible dialects. Different dialects of a language may be required for 'written and spoken use and for different social groups. Bilingualism and multilingualism are common for communication between groups. Language choice is important for education, politics, radio and television. Chapter 2 of this book enumerates criteria used in the taxonomy of language forms, discussing a number of theories of dialect formation from the points of view of linguistic innovation and diffusion of linguistic change. Chapter 3 surveys literature on classification of South Asian languages. Chapter 4 considers South Asia as a distinct linguistic area and Chapter 5 evaluates literature on South Asian social dialects. Chapter 6 examines linguistic codes encompassing elements from more than one autonomous language.

Publication Date 1940-06-01 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California A PROBLEM IN KINSHIP TERMINOLOGY By E. W. GIFFORD· R LESLIE A. WHITE, in his paper on A Problem in Kinship Ter­ D minology,! settles the problem to his own satisfaction with the follow­ ing formulation concerning certain types of kinship systems (p. 569): The type which violates the generation principle is an outgrou:th of the type which does not, and is due to the influence of a fully mature, influential clan system. When the clan system is young and weak the kinship system will be of the Dakota-Iroquois type, regardless of the sex in which descent is reckoned. As the clan system develops, however, and comes to exert its influence more and more upon the soci.allife of the tribe, the Dakota-Iroquois terminology will be trans­ formed into the Crow type in a matrilineal society and into the Omaha type in a patrilineal society. The exceptions to this dictum as to the process of evolution in these kinship types are explained in part by Dr White by the "additional factor" of diffusion (p. 570). "The systems of terminology which 'override the generation principle' do so because the clan predominates over the family as the agency which determines how the relative shall be designated at those points where the generation principle is violated" (p.
