The two-word term dominant group appears to occur most often in articles within periodicals (or journals), conference proceedings, and least often in books. Although the earliest occurrence so far is within a book published in 1826. Relative synonyms for the term have been discovered as far back as 1780: "For the impression of the commercial arts is often conspicuous in the upper departments of life, before it reaches those of inferior condition; but the circle gradually widens."[1] Bold added. And, another, “die Dominanten Religionen von ganz Europa”[2] occurs in 1726. Bold added.

This learning resource focuses on those most recent periodicals that include the term in an article, possibly discuss the term in some way, or directly focus research on the term. Initially, discovering at least one use of the term places the journal on the list, but including those that do not, perhaps versus impact factor, may be important.

The objective is to determine through research the category of periodicals most likely to publish or desire to publish an article about the term dominant group.

As the answer to the search is unknown, this learning resource is an exploratory research effort. It is conceded from the beginning that there is in all likelihood at least one expert somewhere who probably knows from experience the best journal within which to publish such an article on dominant group and in fact the funding agency most able to provide publication costs, at the minimum.

Ultimately, interviews with authors who have used and continue to use the term dominant group in their articles may be necessary.

Synonyms[edit | edit source]

The term patrician class seems to be the earliest relative synonym for dominant group.

"According to Livy, the first 100 men appointed as senators by Romulus were referred to as "fathers" (patres),[3] and the descendants of those men became the Patrician class.[4] The patricians were distinct from the plebeians because they had wider political influence, at least in the times of the Republic."[5]

Romulus may not have been a human, but something in the sky used by a group of humans to make themselves into a ruling class, or by using religion to reinforce their dominance over others.

Onomantics[edit | edit source]

That dominant group occurs in at least one journal has been demonstrated. That dominant group occurs at least once in almost every journal is possible with about 71,550 occurrences of the two-word term in the scholarly literature. Although its frequency in any subject is low (usually less than 3 % of the articles), its frequency across subjects is not a constant, and it may be picked up by data mining search engines looking for relevant terms.

Def. "the science and practice of term evaluation"[6] is called onometrics.

"Since onometrics adds rationality to the evaluation of terms, we can eliminate much of the same subjectivity (in the form of personal taste, personal connotations, ego, etc.) which all science seeks to avoid."[6]

"In formal metrics, as in any scientific approach, clear and precise definitions are crucial."[6]

"The ... field ... is the scientific or technological field of the object. ... [F]or onometrics it is terminology science' and ultimately language science or linguistics."[6]

Def. "a terminological approach in which first a concept is given and then its name or names are sought"[6] is called onomantics.

Def. "anything artificially produced (by man), including not only tangible objects and substances but intangibles such as services, procedures, programs, plans, and ideas"[6] is called an artifact.

Here is the key question: Is dominant group in context "selecting and using good terminology."[6]

  8. Conciseness - Efficiency
  9. Appropriate Simplicity
  10. Form Correctness - Morphology
  11. Etymological Purity
  12. Derivability
  13. Inflectability - Uniformity
  14. Series Uniformity

"[N]aming often involves finding a satisfactory balance among conflicting criteria."[6]

Communications[edit | edit source]

Discourse & Society

"Negative emotions in the dominant group, such as anger and guilt, were neither central nor salient in justifying the apology."[7]

"Racist assaults characteristically involve members of a dominant group speaking or acting against members of ethnic or religious minority groups."[8]

"The first form of stigmatization is poverty, which occurs when the dominant group is able to monopolize the highest social positions in terms of power, social prestige and material advantage."[9]

"The majority population was the dominant group, responsible for the process of doing and saying as actors and sayers."[10]

Culture[edit | edit source]

"This strategy attempts to achieve the goals of empowering of members of the minority group and helping the dominant group develop new insights into their ambivalence and power orientation (Maoz & Bar-On, 2000)."[11]

"The same pattern also persisted in Rome from its founding until the sixth century BC (753-510 BC), when the king was overthrown and driven out of the city. This upheaval was apparently related to the rise of a patrician class which owned the means of warfare."[12]

The Slavonic and East European Review

"The dervish sees the treatment of his brother as an insult to his honour and position and manages to topple the local officialdom, but he cannot overcome the solidarity of the patrician class. First he is disgraced by a campaign of rumours and then he is crushed."[13]

Hypotheses[edit | edit source]

  1. Finding an appropriate journal for an article about dominant group may be harder than finding out what dominant group is.
