What reading level is Kinship Organisations And Group Marriage in Australia book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
These questions of suffixes and prefixes are intimately connected withthe very difficult problem of the origin of the classes. The languagesof these tribes are at present, if not distinct linguistic stocks, atany rate very far from being mere dialectical variations of a commontongue, for the members of two tribes appear to be mutuallyunintelligible, unless, contrary to the custom of the American Indians, they are bilingual. But if each tribe added a suffix, and thus adoptedinto their own langua...ge words which, from the general agreement amongthe class names of this group, seem to have come to them from outside, it is a reasonable hypothesis that the word which they adopted had somemeaning for them. Of course we may suppose that the class names were alladopted in the far off time when all spoke a common language. But apartfrom the difficulty that this presupposes the existence of aneight-class system at that early period, it is clear from the Queenslandevidence that class names have been handed on from tribe to tribe, andit is reasonable to suppose this to have been the case with the northerntribes.
