The Greek-American Small Businessman: A Cultural Analysis

Relations among categories of occupation, social status, and "person" in American culture are examined in an analysis of data on Greek-American small business proprietors. This article builds on recent efforts in cultural analysis to explicate syntagmatic relations among explicit and implicit cultural categories. One result is the introduction of an implicational structure derived from syntagmatic analysis to refine the concept of a "conglomerate" cultural domain.
