Results

Thank you to all who have participated by contributing data to our project! Thanks to you, we've collected data from 54 different languages. This is no small feat.

You may recall that our goal was to make as much data possible centrally available on this topic, since Murdock's original results by language are not available. You can see our preliminary data in the Google spreadsheet below. Right now, we've looked at manner and place of articulation within a kinship term, but this scope is going to be widened in the future, in Muster 2.0.

If you notice any mistakes in the spreadsheet, please do let us know!

You can watch Andrew's Inaugural Lecture below. Note that there are three lectures in the video:
