Abstract
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 on the basis of bilateral principles. It is additionally shown that there is a close relationship between semantic structure and social structure at an abstract level in that the formal bilateral principles underlying the social structure are clearly reflected in the semantic principles underlying the kin classification.
