Dear native speakers of Tamil,
We are a typological research project studying words for body parts in a large sample of languages and we are currently collecting data in Tamil. Since the word lists and dictionaries give us quite inconsistent information we urgently need Tamil speakers who can help us with their intuition. Could you please tell us what the unmarked expressions of the body part terms listed below are in modern everyday Tamil? We look forward to hearing from you, Reinhild Steinberg and Wiltrud Mihatsch (We will post a summary) 1. forehead 2. eye 3. eyebrow 4. eyelid 5. eyelash 6. eyeball 7. eye pupil 8. head 9. skull 10. face 11. hair (head, body) 12. mouth 13. lip 14. beard 15. moustache 16. chin 17. jaw 18. lower jaw 19. nose 20. nostril 21. ear 22. earlobe 23. temple 24. cheek 25. cheek-bone |
