I read a wonderful paper on this several years ago. Can I find it now? Nope. But I'll keep looking. It seems that it may have been a chapter in a book...
In the meantime, try: http://www.urbanlegends.com/language/eskimo_words_for_snow_derby.html -----Original Message----- From: Rick Froman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 02, 2004 1:21 PM To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences Subject: The old Eskimo snow words story (was Random Thought: Students and Snowflakes) Don's link below also has a sidebar on the old eskimo-snow story in which they actually give the alleged words and their definitions. Given that they refer to them as Eskimos, which I don't think is the modern terminology, it makes me wonder. So, is it true that there are actually 22 words for snow in their language? I found no citation in the article for those words. Rick Dr. Rick Froman Associate Professor of Psychology John Brown University 2000 W.
