I am looking for bibliographical references to
constructions like sit-in, love-in, teach-in, and
so on, and ALSO for references to the translation
equivalents of such items in Spanish and other
languages. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

 I am searching for information on the Basque language. I would appreciate any
 references you could provide that deal with its origins. Thanks in advance.

Does anybody know the whereabouts of the Russian Koreanologist
Lev R. Koncevich? I believe he may be in the Republic of Korea
someplace.

Message 4: Re: 4.105 Qs: Ethnography, S/O Asymmetries, Schools, Metaphors

I have a general query concerning S/O asymmetries in idioms. Is it really
worthwhile asking why S-idioms are so much rarer than O-idioms? Isn't it
just the case that S-idioms are very common but are called proverbs, such
as One stitch in time saves nine, The cat is out of the bag, etc...?
