Once the phrase dominant group is found within a field, a small group of publications is chosen for analysis from various subdivisions.

The publications chosen should have a downloadable form so that occurrences of dominant group can be found and context regarding its components are available.

Proof of concept/Metadefinition

[edit | edit source]
Main resources: Dominant group/Metadefinition and Metadefinition

For the small group study, the proof of concept focuses on a metadefinition for dominant group. If this metadefinition or a similar one meets all the demands placed by various authors in the spectrum of fields, then the proof of concept for this metadefinition has been achieved.

Small group theory

[edit | edit source]

“A simplifying typology is always dangerous because one may not have the right variables in it, but if one distills from small group theory the dimensions that recur in group studies, one can identify a set of major external and internal tasks that all groups face and with which they must learn to cope”[1]

Metadefinition

[edit | edit source]
Main resources: Dominant group/Metadefinition hypothesis and Metadefinition hypothesis

Most of the subject areas and subfields are analyzed per the four components of the metadefinition:

  1. relation (of the group),
  2. population (from which the group comes),
  3. basis (criteria for dominance), and
  4. country (region of dominance).

Examination of the theory of definition of "dominant group" has shown that relative synonymy suggests many genera differentia. These may be used to define the term "dominant group" or stand on their own as relative synonyms without the term "dominant group" actually mentioned by the author.

This set of relative synonyms and the desire to produce subpages that serve as learning resources for Wikiversity suggests that providing each subpage with a larger number of examples of the use of "dominant group" or its relative synonyms should help to understand what the authors are doing and how they are using the term.

Genera differentia

[edit | edit source]
Main resources: Terms/Two words/Genera differentia, Two-word terms/Genera differentia, and Genera differentia

The genera differentia for possible definitions of "dominant group" fall into the following set of orderable pairs:

Genera differentia for "dominant group"[2]
Synonym for "dominant" Category Number Category Title Synonym for "group" Category Number Catgeory Title
“superior” 36 SUPERIORITY "arrangement" 60 ARRANGEMENT
“influential” 171 INFLUENCE "class" 61 CLASSIFICATION
“musical note” 462 HARMONICS "assembly" 74 ASSEMBLAGE
“most important” 670 IMPORTANCE "size" 194 SIZE
“governing” 739 GOVERNMENT "painting", "grouping" 572 ART
"master" 747 MASTER "association", "set" 786 ASSOCIATION
----- --- ------- "sect" 1018 RELIGIONS, CULTS, SECTS

'Orderable' means that any synonym from within the first category can be ordered with any synonym from the second category to form an alternate term for "dominant group"; for example, "superior class", "influential sect", "master assembly", "most important group", and "dominant painting". "Dominant" falls into category 171. "Group" is in category 61. Further, any word which has its most or much more common usage within these categories may also form an alternate term, such as "ruling group", where "ruling" has its most common usage in category 739, or "dominant party", where "party" is in category 74. "Taxon" or "taxa" are like "species" in category 61. "Society" is in category 786 so there is a "dominant society".

"A related, but separate, definition relies on a linguistic identity that differs from that of the dominant society [5]."[3]

The relative synonyms for "dominant group" configured as genera (any two) differentia (any two) could be as many as 2400 depending on the number of words that may be reasonably exact to each genus and differentia. The total number of occurrences of genera (up to two) differentia (up to two) relative synonyms for "dominant group" whether the term occurs in a specific article or not may be on the order of 10 % of the scholarly articles searched by Google scholar, for example. Finding all such occurrences may be less important than understanding the intent of the authors in using the entity as part of any article.

Relationship: Metadefinition - Genera differentia

[edit | edit source]
  • Metadefinition
  1. Each group has a relation between its members: something they have in common that puts them into the group.
  2. A population from which the group comes.
  3. A stated or context criteria for dominance is available or implied.
  4. A country or region of dominance has the limits within which the dominant group is possible.
  • Genera differentia
  1. Use one or two synonyms for "group", including "group" itself.
  2. Use one or two synonyms for "dominant", including "dominant" itself.
  3. Use at least three up to four synonyms: one to two from each. Less than three is a relative synonym.

Comparison:

  1. A relation between "dominant group" members is by definition of the word "group".
  2. Any synonym for "group" may be or describe the population.
  3. The criteria for dominance may be described by a synonym for "dominant".

Contrast:

  1. The relationship between the "dominant group" and the population may not be described directly by the combination of genera differentia.
  2. The limits within which the "dominant group" is possible may not be described by the genera differentia.

To overcome the contrasts, a precising definition containing the three or four synonyms, plus additional words or symbols may be needed:

  1. identification of the population may be required to clarify the relationship between any two "group" synonyms,
  2. any relationship between any two synonyms for "dominant" when used is needed,
  3. additional words or symbols may be needed whenever two synonyms for "dominant" are combined with one synonym for "group", and
  4. additional symbols may be needed whenever two synonyms for "group" are combined with one synonym for "dominant".

A definition of a "dominant group" may need more than any two genera and differentia.

The limits which separate the group from the population, or those that determine the region or country within which the dominant group is possible may be correlated with the criteria of dominance.

"[N]ativistic movements in North America" with respect to "groups of individuals" such as "Indians" and "whites" refer to "whites" as an "alien society which surrounds them."[5] Most nativistic movements "have as a common denominator a situation of inequality between the societies in contact. Such inequalities may derive either from the attitudes of the societies involved or from actual situations of dominance and submission."[5]

The apparent components of a ‘dominant group’ consist of the following objects:

  1. relation: dominant subgroup,[5]

Main resources: Anthropology/Linguistics and Linguistic anthropology

"There certainly appear to be numbers of examples of the language of one group of egalitarian hunter-gatherers replacing the language of another group of egalitarian hunter-gatherers on other continents apart from Australia."[6] Language shift is probably a more common occurrence among prehistoric hunter-gatherers than among peoples with more elaborate socio-political systems, because the latter systems give rise to more fixed ties of groups to ethnic identities, including ethnic languages, than among small bands of hunter-gatherers who could afford to be more 'fickle'.[6]

The components of dominant group are

  1. relation: dominant partners,[6]
  2. population: aboriginal societies,[6]

Teleosts

[edit | edit source]

"Similarly, with the dramatic decline of marine eurypterids (large arthropods) about 410 million years ago, the first large marine predators were lost. However, they were later surpassed in this role by certain fish, notably the placoderms, a highly diverse group that sported interlocking plates of armor. The placoderms underwent a spectacular radiation during the Devonian (between 410 and 360 million years ago), but at the end of this period all placoderms—large, small, marine and freshwater—went extinct. They were replaced by the actinopterygians (ray-finned fishes), which ultimately produced the teleosts, the dominant group of modern fish."[37]

The components of Levin's dominant group are a

Comet chemistry

[edit | edit source]

As comets are also a subject of planetary science, this example could be included there.

A magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) and chemical comet-coma model is applied to describe and analyze the plasma flow, magnetic field, and ion abundances in Comet Halley.[46]

The ‘dominant group’ consists of the definitions of the following objects:

  1. relation: "[d]ominant ions in mass/charge bins" or dominant ion per channel,[46]

Artists

[edit | edit source]

"Each man, finally, outside his professional activity, carries on some form of intellectual activity, that is, he is a “philosopher,” an artist, a man of taste, he participates in a particular conception of the world, has a conscious line of moral conduct, and therefore contributes to sustain a conception of the world or to modify it, that is, to bring into being new modes of thought."[48]

The term 'dominant group' occurs three times in the article. The definition per context use by the author is

  1. relation: "dominant fundamental group",[48]
  2. population: "great masses",[48]
  3. basis or ‘criteria for dominance’: "prestige",[48] and
  4. country, region, territory, or the like (of the dominant group): "world of production".[48]

High art

[edit | edit source]

The critical social relationship is between rival groups of producers who struggle for ascendancy.[49]

"But once this dominant group has been deposed, other producers take their place and can assert their hegemony, drawing authority away from consumers by a process of de-commodification."[49]

The components of the dominant group are

  1. relation: dominant producers,[49]
  2. population: producers,[49]
  3. basis or 'criteria for dominance': authority,[49] and
  4. country (of the dominant group): 'western society'.[49]

Imagined community

[edit | edit source]

Art allows individuals to think about themselves and others in new and abstract ways, and plays a central role in the creation of an imagined community.[50]

Several uses of the term 'dominant group' occur in the article. The apparent definition per context use by the author is

Will

[edit | edit source]

"For one thing, we have not been long enough concerned with it, and for another, we know too little about democracy itself. How then can we analyze the quality of its genius or prefigure the expression it will take when the informing spirit still lies weltering in the mists of Chaos and Old Night?"[51]

  1. relation: dominant classes,[51]
  2. population: aristocracy,[51]
