Have you ever worked on a semantic domain dictionary of a language? If so,
would you please share with list subscribers how the native speakers of the
language responded to studying semantic domains? For instance, did they seem
to approach the lexicon of their language more naturally by semantic domains
than they would approach it alphabetically?

I would appreciate comments from as many of you on the list as possible. I
would especially find interesting anecdotes about how native speakers of the
language took to researching natural semantic groupings of terms within
their lexicon.

Thanks,
Wayne
