Subject:  Russian association norms, analysis

As part of my final exam, I am writing an essay on a thesaurus
of Russian association norms. Can anybody recommend me literature
that deals with the analysis of association norms (e.g. concerning
questions like what do association norms tell us about society,
what do they tell us about the system of language in general
(i.e. grammaire, phraselogisms), and psycholinguisic
 experiments)?
In addition I`d like to get information about existing psycholinguistic
texts that deal with the phenomenon of association, since I´ve
found only a few, older books that describe associations
more detailed.

Does anybody know of a language where "tasi" means 'happy',
'delighted', or 'enthusiastic' ?  The form might be "taasi", "tazi",
etc.

Thanks!
