An Ontological Analysis of Korean and English Kinship Terms
Most languages have some expressions to refer to family members (e.g., those referring to father, brother, uncle, etc. ). In a previous work, we tried to provide an ontological analysis of Korean kinship terms (Balk and Chae 2009). We dealt with about 200 Korean kinship terms in the Yonsei Korean Dictionary, under a framework comprising a simplified family tree and some features. We have shown that the framework is effective in defining Korean kinship terms explicitly and comprehensively. In addition, as the framework was designed to be language neutral, the possibility was open that it can be used in analyzing the kinship terms of other languages.
