This concept list was constructed from the dataset compiled for the PhD thesis by Gravina 2014. The data we had at our disposal for the compilation of the concept list was a database file in XML form (based on the Fieldworks 7 XML Model) provided by Roger Blench. From this file, we extracted concepts with French and English glosses which would recur in a large number of languages and which would have glosses that could be linked to Concepticon and that would be unambiguous enough to link. It turned out, that French glosses are at times even more ambiguous than English glosses, so we had to discard quite a large number of concepts for which French and Englisch glosses were available, since they were so hard to interpret.
