A Climate Lexicon
Alan E. Stewart, Univ. of Georgia, Athens, GA
This project describes the recent work the author has completed on developing a lexicon of adjectives that can be used to describe weather and climate conditions.

This project goes beyond the use of the CARS and examines the use of weather and climate adjectives in narratives that depict weather and climate Recorded presentation
