Can you tell me where I find information about the program Lexique Pro? Since at
present I can devote only a small percentage of my time to lexicography I
obviously have missed the basic info about this.</FONT></DIV>

<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>
