Description |
In this paper, Wick Miller analyzes Indian languages, especially vocabulary pertaining to domesticated animals. Miller claims some Indian languages use the classifying noun "pet" when referring to a domesticated animal in order to avoid implying ownership of the animal, while others do not. Miller discusses problems with pet ownership from semantic, cultural, and historic perspectives |
