Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to give a simple, clear and precise graph
theoretic characterization of Dumont's controversial and ambiguous co
ncept of hierarchical opposition. The analysis has special importance
for Austronesianists who have independently discovered and applied the
concept of hierarchical opposition on several different occasions.
