We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.
In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have taken the trouble to respond to the query.

Hello all:
I am working on a project where I plan to discuss the various cognitive mechanisms used in polysemic development, for example: 'resemblance' in the word caterpillar, or 'distinguishing feature' in the word 'rhinoceros' as well as more complex creations, such as 'tradition' for the word 'consider' where the stars were used in making decisions.
Has this already been done? Any ideas on resources I could use?
