Russett, Rose, and Raspberry: The Development of English Secondary Color Terms
English simplex secondary color terms such as russett and rose first entered the language in the late Middle English period (1350-1500). All were innovated by means of the ontological metonymy "Entity stands for entity's color." Specific examples are: Rose stands for rose's color, and raspberry for raspberry's color. This metonym is an embodied cognitive structure based on experience with physical entities and their associated colors. Colorant an…

Schemata in Cognitive Anthropology
The aim of this review is to examine concept being developed in cognitive science from perspective of cognitive anthropology. Cognitive science is inter-disciplipary field that was originally formed around joint interests of cognitive psychology and computer science and now includes cognitive anthropology and cognitive linguistics as well. Schemata (the plural), which are knowledge structures that are the building blocks of cognition, pervade the…

Respect and address in a Turkish village: A Quantitative Sociolinguistic Account1
Sociolinguistic studies have established that social relations are clearly expressed in language use. This paper examines social relations and their expression in kin term address usage in a Turkish village and suggests a refinement of this sociolinguistic finding. Quantitative analyses of respect rank and address usage among married male villagers suggest a general principle of language use: that unmarked social relations are expressed consisten…
The Semantics of Kin Term Usage1
Critics have argued that formal analyses of kinship terminologies are inadequate because they do not account for the social meaning communicated in the actual use of the terms. This paper describes an approach based on research in sociolinguistics and generative semantics which attempts to deal with this objection. The utility of this approach is demonstrated by an analysis of data on the usage of kin terms in a Turkish village. The results are (…
Semantic Structure and Social Structure in a Central Anatolian Village
It is currently held that kinship terminology and social structure in Central Anatolia are not a close fit because the former does not reflect the patrilineality/patrilocality of the latter. It is demonstrated here that in a particular Central Anatolian village households are the principle units of social structure, patrilineal descent groups do not exist, and households are formed not on the basis of patrilineal/patrilocal principles but instead…
