> Ron Moe has a good article on developing dictionaries using Semantic
> Domains and pulling out the associated words to these domains and then
> entering them into a Shoebox database. In a workshop where several
speakers
> of the language work together, they stimulate each other and in a 2 week
> workshop with 25-30 participants, 12,000 words can be elicited. This
> article can be read in the SIL's Word and Deed 2.1 which just came out.
> Another source would be the "Outline of Cultural Material" by George
> Murdock which covers the same type of semantic domains. This can be found
> in Lingualinks Library from SIL. There is a Shoebox database included with
> these domains and related words.
