Gleitman's Intro text defines homogamy as "tendency of like to mate with like" though in the text the term appears in a context that suggests it means we associate with others like us.
Q: does the term "homogamy" necessarily imply mating (as the roots would suggest) or is the term used more broadly to mean any tendency for like to befriend like? [I am writing a paper and want to refer to the latter, but not the former]. The dictionaries in my office are of no help. Any help will be appreciated!
