Abstract
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.
