Abstract Languages differ markedly in the number of colour terms their lexicons. The Himba, for example, a remote culture Namibia, were reported 2005 to have only 5-colour term language. We re-examined naming using novel computer-based method drawing colours from across gamut rather than saturated shell space that is norm cross-cultural research. Measuring confidence communication, Himba now se...

In our discussions around the theme of solid fluids, we often resort to everyday words, many them ancient derivation and rich in association. We have decided make a list some words that come up most – barring those already figure as principal characters individual contributions distribute among ourselves task writing sort mini-biography for each.

We make use of the theory behind the formal language MOLUSC, in which morphological alternations were defined as mappings between sequences of tree-structured syllables. We discuss how the alternations can be defined in the inheritance-based lexical representation language DATR, and how the p...
