Some Comparisons between Gypsy (North American ŗrom) and American English Kinship Terms1
The semantic structure (in the area of kinship terminology) of the language of certain North American Gypsies is compared to that of North American English. The resemblance is great, but there are certain important differences, particularly in the terminology for affines. These differences are related to cultural differences and can be seen most strikingly by a study of the Gypsy institution of the bride price
Personality, Pentecostal ism, and Glossolalia: A Research Note on Some Unsuccessful Research
L'auteur a d'abord tenté de mettre en rapport l'attrait des offices religieux d'une église de la Pentecôte et les résultats d'un test psychologique basé sur I'achévement de phrases incomplètes. II ne réussit àétablir aucune association entre les deux mesures. II tenta ensuite de mettre en relation les résultats obtenus dans un inventaire multidimen‐sionnel de la personnalité, le M.M.P.I., et l‘évaluation de deux films: l'un décrivant un “revival”…
System, Change and Conflict: A Reader on Contemporary Sociological Theory and the Debate over Functionalism
A movie of Experimentally-Produced Glossolalia
TN connection with research into personality determinants of membership in Pentecostal churches, it was attempted to produce glossolalia-the speaking-intongues of Pentecostal groups-in an experimental setting and without any religious suggestion. The results are recorded in a movie which was shown at the Second Annual Conference of the R. M. Bucke Memorial Society, Montreal, in March of 1966, and which can be made available to others studying the…
"Religion" in Non-Western Cultures?1
I wish to suggest in this brief communication that most of the best-known anthropological writings on 'religion in non-Western cultures contain as their central assumption a proposition that is based on an error in reasoning. The proposition is that can usefully be thought of as existing universally, and the error in reasoning consists of an unacknowledged and apparently unrecognized switch of meaning for the term religion in the middle of the ar…
European Social Class: Stability and Change
Die Lotus-Lehre und die Modernen Religionen in Japan
Is Religion Universal? Problems of Definition
THE role of religion ih society seems to have been rather cohasistently over or underestimated. The social science tradition in the early twentieth century was often influenced by Marxism ahd other alati-religious doctrines, which were interpreted as regarding religion as but a superficial expression of deeper-lying economic and social forces, an epiphenomenon to be dealt with rather lightly. Others within social science-most notably perhaps Max …
Social Status and the Ambivalence Hypothesis: Some Critical Notes and a Suggestion
as evidenced by the altruist's own estimate of his altruism. 10. Approved traits such as altruism may not be projected by the non-insightful; they may, however, be projected by the insightful. 11. Altruism is related to the relative value with which relationships are regarded. Relationships which, while prevalent in lay or professional thinking or both, have not been substantiated by the present study include: 1. The individual who attends church…
