    Message 1: Russian association norms, analysis

    Subject: Russian association norms, analysis


    As part of my final exam, I am writing an essay on a thesaurus of Russian association norms. Can anybody recommend me literature that deals with the analysis of association norms (e.g. concerning questions like what do association norms tell us about society, what do they tell us about the system of language in general (i.e. grammaire, phraselogisms), and psycholinguisic experiments)? In addition I`d like to get information about existing psycholinguistic texts that deal with the phenomenon of association, since I�ve found only a few, older books that describe associations more detailed.

    Does anybody know of a language where "tasi" means 'happy', 'delighted', or 'enthusiastic' ? The form might be "taasi", "tazi", etc.

    Thanks!
