We're doing some research about the names one might use to refer to
fingers in Galician. Does anybody have some bibliographical
information about this issue, specifically about the motivations
behind the different designations? It doesn't matter the language or
the point of view adopted.

Thanks,


Lara.

For a study on linguistic expressions of politeness in Slavonic languages,
we are conducting a web-based survey on how different expressions are
evaluated by Russian native speakers. We would like to ask subscribers of
LINGUIST to participate in this survey. You will find a link to our
experiment on:
