studies of taxonomies for Spanish

[J. Clancy Clements]

Dear FUNKNETters,
A colleague of mine is searching for any and all studies of naming objects
in Spanish, and the systems employed in the naming.  The could include
anything from colors to geneological terms, to mammals, to birds, ....
anything.  Of special interest are the anthopological linguistic studies.

You can write to me, or directly to Honorio Velasco at hvelasco at indiana.edu.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.


Clancy Clements
