This list was created for the purpose of investigating directional aspects of semantic change patterns by investigating patterns of colexification an overt marking in a large sample of languages. The concept list itself is inspired by the list of the Key 2016 1310 and the list of the Haspelmath 2009 1460, but contains additional items which cannot be found on either of the two concept lists. The compiler lists findings regarding directed patterns of semantic change by providing source and target concept as well as the number of colexifications and the number of overtly marked cases. These patterns (a total of 47) are provided in the column TARGET_CONCEPTS, where we provide a network representation of the data by linking to the target concepts in the sample.
