Antonija  +  930247 Tue, 06 Oct 09 10:54 AM Hello! Should I use 'among' or 'between' here if the meaning is 'in general'? In other words, according to this approach, the boundaries between/among ethnic groups are not the result of objectively determined cultural differences between/among these groups.

In your example you give no indication of number so I guess both between and among are possible. On a more abstract level, one can argue that even if we know there are more than two ethnic groups, one boundary alone can only separate any 2 of the ethnic groups mentioned.     Ivanhr Joined on Fri, Oct 2 2009 Full Member 176 Writing, Numbers
