Dear typologists,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Today I have learned that, in the Hokkaido dialect of Japanese Sign Language, ‘hot (object)’ and ‘cold (object)’ are colexified. The consultant told me that there could be a difference in the non-manual expression, but it didn’t seem distinctive to me.
‘Hot (weather)’ and ‘cold (weather)’ are not colexified, however.</div>
<div>Are there other lects (sign or spoken) where ‘hot’ and ‘cold’ are colexified? Or is this a rather unusual case?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
