2.4 blood and the difference of in-laws appellation
Blood and the difference of in-laws appellation. Chinese appellation and blood relatives by marriage appellation boundaries clear, is more complex. Blood relatives appellation terms of independent appellation, its age by referring to the age & my decision, such as "brother, sister" longer than ourselves, "brother, sister," the young in the self, "uncle", "uncle" were young and longer than to father. In-laws appellation of affiliate appellation, its age only with relevant intermediary &, and referring to my regardless of age. Such as "aunt" is uncle's wife, the intermediary (i.e. uncle) longer than a father, but its own age and
Not reflect. "My brother-in-law" is young in their female compatriot who, but its own age also not reflect. Other in-laws appellation terms such as "aunt, sister-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, DaJiuZi, brother-in-law, XiaoGuZi" also is such. Excluding age & in-laws title is also from the analogy delimit affiliate titles, such as "aunt, GuFu, uncle." Many affiliate appellation of the terms of the relatively independent containing elements, such as "aunt" of the "" "," brother-in-law "" sister", "GuFu" of "gu", independent appellation not contain relative affiliate of the terms is morpheme. "Husband and wife" is the most direct in-laws appellation, belong to the same core family, and
Excluding age &, can not delimit affiliate appellation. "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, father-in-law, mother-in-law, her daughter-in-law, son-in-law" is affiliate appellation, they don't contain any & age, but the generational by intermediary appellation & decision. In the relatives appellation terms, the grandfather, grandmother and grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, the written language colour dense, usually don't have spoken in the name of the person face to face, but in the narrative and the introduction, especially in a solemn occasion or written, described in the introduction, between the characters, multi-purpose the appellation, and other relatives appellation terms can be in already introduced and used narration, may also serve as a call to face says.
But English is not distinguish between blood and in-laws, parents brothers and parents and sister's husband called "uncle", parents and sisters parents brother's wife called "aunt".
2.5 relatives say the generalization of predicate
Chinese people will relatives appellation terms used as social appellation, that of the title in the between relatives between relatives, and even used to address the stranger, from "big ye," "woman", "uncle", "aunt" to "big sister", "big brother" vary. China attaches great importance to cultural imitative relationship. Chinese society is in the clan ties patriarchal society developed on the basis of, in the national culture, pay high attention to the blood relationship, emphasize on the level of the differences. So in Chinese for the relatives appellation terms between relatives is a very common
Call form, this kind of title can make both sides feel close communication, bridging the distance, and received good communication effect. But the United States as a immigration society, it is the history of the development of the struggle of the development history, people emphasize that the man's independence, equality, no matter the youngest generational, everyone is equal, even children won't say a strange old man for the "grandpa". In the American culture, "Grandpa" (grandfather) "uncle" (uncle), and other relatives appellation terms generally limited to use between relatives. We sometimes see China's primary school students or high school students is very polite to foreigners called "aunt", "uncle", etc, these foreigners is the reflection of puzzled, and even disgusted: "don't call my uncle (aunt), I'm not your uncle, Please call me John (Please call me John, not uncle, I 'm not your uncle)" in Chinese. The scope of the names of ZhongZhi called generally limited to relatives and friends, and limited to seniors, between superior to XiaoBei, lower level, flat between or equals to the elder, even between is not familiar with the elders, superior if use first names, will make the other party fast. But in the United States called the scope of the names of ZhongZhi English to much wider range. With the Chinese and western culture with increasing, we gradually to native English speakers use first names. But for higher social status or less prestigious people in the west, can't copy anything, lest appear brusque.
