This paper analyzes the meanings of Vietnamese kinship terms on the basis of the rules that regulate their referential and nonreferential uses. These rules are not completely consistent with one another. They constitute contradictory models of and for sociocultural reality at a certain level. The structural contradictions among these models render "fuzzy" even the definitions of the prototypical uses of Vietnamese kin terms. The coexistence of alternative models makes the use of a linguistic form both a goal‐directed action and the representation of an order.

In ihrer Studie vergleichen Luong und Unger den Norden Vietnams mit der VR China unter den Aspekten der ländlichen Industrialisierung, der jeweiligen Regierungspolitik sowie den Prozessen innerhalb der ländlichen Gemeinschaft, um aus diesen Ergebnissen die unterschiedlichen Entwicklungen in bezug auf Klassen-/Elitenbildung und Einkommensverteilung abzuleiten. Zunehmende ländliche Industrialisierung, Förderungsprogramme/Begünstigungen einzelner Haushalte, Ausnutzung von persönlichen Beziehungen und der daraus resultierenden Korruption begünstigten in der VR China das Entstehen von neuen Machtstrukturen und vergrößerten die Einkommensunterschiede der ländlichen Bevölkerung. Ähnliche Prozesse konnten die Autoren in Nordvietnam nicht beobachten und prognostizieren deshalb, daß sich trotz zunehmender industrieller Entwicklung keine vergleichbaren Folgeerscheinungen wie in der VR China durchsetzen werden.

In the past two decades, social scientists have paid considerably greater attention to the possible role of native sociocultural frameworks in structuring the organization of economic enterprises. The primary research focusing on the Japanese and Chinese cases relates to the emergence of many highly competitive industries in capitalist East Asia in which relations of production do not necessarily resemble American or Western industrial relations. The following historical analysis of production relations in the pottery industry of Tân Vạn, a major centre of Southern Vietnamese ceramic production, seeks to contribute empirical data for comparative purposes within the East Asian sociocultural sphere.

In the past two decades, social scientists have paid considerably greater attention to the possible role of native socio-cultural frameworks in structuring the organization of economic enterprises. The authors examine the relations of production during 1878-1975 in a major centre of ceramics production in South Vietnam. They suggest that local relations of production were shaped by both culture and the political economy of capitalism in their dynamic interaction. (DÜI-Sen)
