Dear Papuanists:

Maria Koptjevskaja-Tamm (tamm at ling.su.se), who is heading the lexical
typology research project "Hot and Cold - Universal or Languages Specific", is
compiling a volume on the typology of temperature terms across the world's
languages.  There are currently over 30 contributions (attached to the end
of this e-mail is a preliminary list of contributions), but so far there are
no data from Papuan languages.  You are all very welcome to check out the
project webpage, which includes links to a standardised elicitation toolkit:

If you are interested in making a contribution and/or if you have other
related questions, please feel free to contact Masha directly at
tamm at ling.su.se
