This paper examines factors influencing endogamy in a Dogon population in Mali. Situated in Boni district, this population of about 5000 individuals is distributed over fifteen villages located on four independent massifs. This population is strongly endogamous (only 4% of all marriages are contracted with neighbouring ethnic groups), and each massif shows high endogamy. The roles of lineage, residence in the same village, and geographical distance in mating choice are examined. These different factors are successively analysed using log-linear statistical models and the results offer a more precise interpretation of endogamy in this population.
本文研究了影响马里多贡族人口内部通婚的因素。该族群位于博尼区，约有5000人，分布在四个独立地块上的15个村庄。这个族群内部通婚现象非常严重（所有婚姻中只有4%是与相邻族群缔结的），而且每个地块的内部通婚率都很高。研究考察了世系、同村居住情况以及地理距离在配偶选择中的作用。使用对数线性统计模型对这些不同因素进行了逐一分析，结果对该族群的内部通婚现象提供了更精确的解释。
