Anyways, I'm working on a few different posts exploring different semantic approachs/theories/models where I'll try to apply them to Garru (to the best of my abilities of course).

So I'm close to finishing a post about the NSM approach, using it to describe a uniquely culturally marked word in Garru (Jüküngi).

I also read a chapter about the semantic blocks approach which, while I don't find it particularly interesting as a general semantic theory but it can be interesting in some cases and I'll maybe make a little post about it later.

If I find that the chapter I'm reading is interesting to apply to Garru I'll probably do a post about it, though it's more about full texts than about lexemes.
