Primes¶
- Enculturation
- The process is characterized by: (1) dual-channel structure: K_i includes explicit rules R_e (can be articulated and taught) and implicit patterns R_i (operate at pre-reflective level), with R_i comprising the larger portion and being harder to transmit deliberately; (2) agent diversity: different agents introduce different elements (mothers typically transmit primary kinship and nurture practices; peers transmit age-cohort values; occupational mentors transmit specialized knowledge); (3) partial acquisition: typically K_i ⊂ K, with K_i depending on i's role, gender, age, and life trajectory; (4) lifelong trajectory: enculturation intensity is highest in childhood but continues through adult socialization, occupational role acquisition, and status transitions, with some cultures explicitly managing transition rituals (initiation rites, coming-of-age ceremonies, professional licensing)
This sourceFoundational treatment of status and role and their relation to cultural expectations — supports the lifelong-trajectory claim including occupational role acquisition and status-transition rituals (D29-097).
Supported in partVerified against the work's full text
Linton supports status-transition rites, age/sex-differentiated training and largely unconscious habit, but not the claim's dual-channel proportions, agent roles, or childhood-peak intensity.
“The child becomes a man not when he is physically mature but when he is formally recognized as a man by his society. This recognition is almost always given ceremonial expression in what are technically known as puberty rites.”

- Role
- A role is a slot defined by a bundle of expected behaviors, rights, and obligations that is decoupled from whoever happens to occupy it, so that different occupants are interchangeable within the slot and the slot persists when its occupant changes.

Linton defines a status as a bundle of rights and duties distinct from its occupant, likens it to a driver's seat any family member can fill, and calls role its enacted side.
“A status), as distinct from the individual who may occupy it, is simply a collection of rights and duties.”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 2 of 3 citations: 1 supported, 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
