The article describes a computer program, Models called KINSHIP, that performs componential analysis of kinship terminologies. duce the guaranteed-simplest analyses, employing KINSHIP can pro- a minimum number of fea-tures (dimensions) and components in kin term definitions. We give special attention to the problem of alternative simplest multiplicity of componential models, arising from kin term definitions, conforming to one feature set. Two intuitive structural constraints are solutions usually obtained, employing only proposed, reducing the immense number of the previous two simplicity restrictions, to one or a few analyses. Illustrative examples are given in which KIN-SHIP is applied to glish) and Sudanese kinship systems of the Eskimo (Turkish) structural (Bulgarian, American En- types. For the American (Yankee) system, as described by Goodenough, simonious analysis KINSHIP has discovered the most par-known to us. KINSHIP, with its capabilities all alternative componential analyses-not only the practical aid to analysts having concerns other than the parsimony of models.
