Exercise 4

Meet with one or two ESL speakers to identify the kinship terms they use in their native language (e.g., mother, brother, aunt, etc.). Do they have kinship terms that vary with age differences? Do their kinship terms differ between own kin and other's kin? What cultural values do you think their terms reflect?
