The given 344-item concept list underlies the analysis of sound symbolic patterns across 245 language families. The supposedly stable and universal items of the concept list include the 56 oppositional concepts from Johansson 2017 56, 64 kinship terms two steps from the ego with relative age distinctions, and a combination of classical basic vocabulary lists, such as Swadesh 1971 100, Tadmor 2009 100, and a list by Goddard 2002 59. The information on the 59 concepts, favoring sound symbolism, is taken from Appendix 1 and added to the column called SOUND_SYMBOLIC
, where «1» indicates the concepts with sound-meaning associations whereas «0» means the lack thereof.
