In the emid 1950's, the first publications ... appeared in the newly emerging field of cognitive anthropology, or ethnosemantics. Researchers undertook systematic collection of data concerning the naming, classifying, and concept-forming abilities of people living in remote cultures, and then thought to describe in formal terms the nature of these linguistic and cognitive practices.
