<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've been fascinated with words all my life. Both 
my mother and father were/are, as well. I have spent the last 30 years studying 
the Cheyenne language spoken in Montana and Oklahoma. It's part of the large 
Algonquian language family of North America. I thoroughly enjoy rooting around 
in the Cheyenne lexicon. It's a high point of any day for me if I discover some 
new Cheyenne word. I'm glad that we have computers now and decent programs for 
working with lexical data. The program I use most of the time for lexical work 
are Shoebox and Lexique Pro. Actually, I seldom use Shoebox anymore, 
but, instead, do everything directly from Lexique Pro. It's one of the 
most user-friendly computer programs I have used. I would like to see better 
ways of displaying semantic networks. Semantic domain lists are a good start but 
there is a lot more to semantic networking than linear lists. Of course there 
are plenty of semantic links available within Shoebox, Toolbox, and other 
similar lexical programs, but I have yet to use a program that *displays* the 
variety of linkages very well. I have been fascinated using a lexical program 
for English called Visual Thesaurus. It would be nice if we could display 
semantic linkages for other languages as VT does for English.</FONT></DIV>
