Creator Miller, Wick R.
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
