Kroeber postulated eight principles that serve as the basis for distinguishing and differentiating one term from another. Which of the following is not one of them
1. Generation levels,
2. Collateral and Lineal Kin,
3. Affinal and Consanguineal Kin,
4. live and dead kin.
Choose the correct answer from the codes given below.
1,2,3
2,3 only
1,3,4
1,2,3,4
Let’s get right into it.
- Kroeber talked about eight principles to distinguish kinship terms—basically, rules for how different cultures separate one relative from another.
- The real ones include things like:
- Generation levels (are you talking about parents, grandparents, etc.?)
- Collateral and lineal kin (are they your direct ancestor or a sibling of someone who is?)
- Affinal and consanguineal kin (related by marriage or by blood?)
But here's the thing:
- "Live and dead kin" isn’t one of Kroeber’s eight principles.
- The actual principles focus on relation, linkage, sex, age, and so on—not whether someone is alive or not.
Let’s check the options:
- Option 1: 1,2,3 — All real, except no "live and dead kin"
- Option 2: 2,3 only — Just a shorter subset
- Option 3: 1,3,4 — This one includes “live and dead kin,” which isn’t correct
- Option 4: 1,2,3,4 — Includes “live and dead kin,” so not all are Kroeber’s
Correct answer: Option 1 (1,2,3) — “Live and dead kin” is not a Kroeber principle.
