An Anthropological Analysis of the Slovenian System of Kinship Terminology

Magistrsko delo se ukvarja z antropološko analizo slovenskega sistema sorodstvene terminologije. Prvi del naloge zajema teoretično obravnavo pojmov kulture, jezika in sorodstva ter povezave med njimi v antropološkem smislu, empirični del naloge pa analizira samo sorodstveno terminologijo slovenskega sorodstvenega sistema in njene spremembe skozi čas, pri tem pa upošteva zgodovinski, kulturni, socialni in topografski kontekst. Skozi analizo slovenskega sorodstvenega sistema skušamo prikazati tudi pomembne značilnosti slovenske kulture.This master\u27s thesis deals with the anthropological analysis of the Slovenian system of kinship terminology. In the first part of the thesis, we present the theoretical concepts of culture, language and kinship and the interconnectedness between them in an anthropological sense. The empirical part of the thesis analyzes Slovenian kinship terminology. We try to describe changes in the Slovenian system of kinship terminology over time, according to historical, cultural, social and topographical contexts. By analyzing the Slovenian kinship system, we also try to demonstrate some of the main characteristics of Slovenian culture
