<DIV>Dear Stephan,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I agree with Martin regarding the importance of context. However, having stated that, you might have better luck in the field of psychology where the results of , for example, synonym tasks and other vocabulary tasks have been published. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Best wishes,</DIV>
