  1. ViCoS and ‘non-linguistic’ relations: Visualizing Kinship Systems Carolina Pasamonik (University of Cologne)‏ DoBeS Team Beaver

  2. Structure of the talk: • I. Ideas & Goals • II. Overview Beaver Kinship & Social Organization • III. ViCoS for representation of kinship data • IV. ViCoS Wishlist

  3. I. Ideas & Goals Why deal with Kinship Systems? - unstructured knowledge space kinship system as central point combined with cultural, linguistic, historical, biographical and geographical information

  4. I. Ideas & Goals Why deal with Kinship Systems? - important speaker information

  5. I. Ideas & Goals Why deal with Kinship Systems? - important speaker information - not for community work

  6. I. Ideas & Goals Why deal with Kinship Systems? - important speaker information - not for community work - scientific explorations and analyses - anthropological surveys - ethnographies

  7. I. Ideas & Goals Why deal with Kinship Systems? - important speaker information - not for community work - scientific explorations and analyses - anthropological surveys - ethnographies - women’s points of view

  8. I. Ideas & Goals Why deal with Kinship Systems? - important speaker information - not for community work - scientific explorations and analyses - anthropological surveys - ethnographies - women’s points of view - linguistic research - linguistic variation - kinship terms

  9. II. Beaver Kinship System Kinship behaviour does not have to be isomorphic with the terminological structure: - cultural conceptualisations of human reproduction - kin systems are subject to time and other external factors

  10. II. Beaver Kinship System Living conditions correlate with kinship and social system

  11. II. Beaver Kinship System Living conditions correlate with kinship and social system consequences: - flexible organization

  12. II. Beaver Kinship System Living conditions correlate with kinship and social system consequences: - flexible organization - local group size

  13. II. Beaver Kinship System Living conditions correlate with kinship and social system consequences: - flexible organization - local group size - exogamy alternatives

  14. II. Beaver Kinship System Dravidian Kinship Type - four semantic dimensions: sex relative age generation crossness

  15. II. Beaver Kinship System Dravidian Kinship Type - four semantic dimensions: sex relative age generation crossness

  16. II. Beaver Kinship System Dravidian Kinship Type - four semantic dimensions: sex relative age generation crossness - crossness category ego generation & adjacent ones (+1/-1 generations) distinction parallel & cross relatives

  17. II. Beaver Kinship System Marriage Patterns Crossness defined by a linking cross-sex relative: FB MB ∞ ∞ ∞ male ego ∞ FBS = II MBS = X FBD = II MBD = X

  18. II. Beaver Kinship System Marriage Patterns Terminology in the Beaver System: ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ashidle – “y.brother” tłasee – “cousin / in-law” ashtéédzéʼ – “y.sister” ságeʼ̨ – “cousin / in-law”

  19. II. Beaver Kinship System Marriage Patterns Terminology in the English System: ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ cousin cousin cousin cousin

  20. II. Beaver Kinship System Marriage Patterns Ideal constellation: sibling pairs ∞ ∞ - preference for bilateral cross cousin marriage

  21. II. Beaver Kinship System Marriage Patterns Ideal constellation: ∞ ∞ - preference for bilateral cross cousin marriage - system not corresponding to actual relatives - concepts of “cross (marriageable)” vs. “parallel” relative

  22. II. Beaver Kinship System Marriage Patterns Ideal constellation: ∞ ∞ - preference for bilateral cross cousin marriage - system not corresponding to actual relatives - concepts of “cross (marriageable)” vs. “parallel” relative - classificatory vs. descriptive terms

  30. III. ViCoS Workflow 3. Relation Types Manager

  31. III. ViCoS Workflow 3. Relation Types Manager Relations needed for representing kinship systems: I. symmetric relation A related to B and B related to A in the same way e.g. spouses (/ siblings)‏ II. functional relation for each A there is a single B in its range e.g. mother of / father of

  43. IV. ViCoS Wishlist • general: - automatically created relations (using toolbox file)‏ - automatically generated relations (e.g. transitive relation) - re-import into toolbox - off line version - export function (e.g. .jpg) - display of more than one focused entry - use other data categories as main / visible category - partitioned pop-up windows‏ - staggered lines for multiple relations between two entries

  44. IV. ViCoS Wishlist • specific: - symbols for female / male (circle / triangle)‏ - additional coloured symbols (e.g. for variation patterns)‏ - automatically generated kinship relations, e.g. cross cousin relation (MBS / MBD / FZS / FZD) - links to archive (based on speaker, link to e.g. biographical stories)‏ - show only subset of relations (e.g. only palatalization patterns) - use other data categories (e.g. code) as main / visible category - partitioned pop-up windows, also for relations
