Concept Lists

[LinguList]

I suggest the following concept lists for testing:

1. emotions (Jackson-2019-XX)
2. color (not sure how to determine, maybe concepticon tags?)
3. body part list (needs to be determined via coverage statistics)

The coverage statistics should count for all languages and language families, how many gaps we find in the data. It should be straightforward to do it in cltoolkit.

I had a look at the possible lists:

• Jackson et al. includes 24 items but we have added many new emotion concepts to Concepticon in the meantime
• the largest color list is 24 items (Zettersten-2020-24a). However, there may be more color concepts available
• a few body part concepts were added since I created the list with 171 body part concepts (Tjuka-2020-171), but the list is somewhat up-to-date

@LinguList Would it make sense if I created a new list of available concepts in the current Concepticon version and added a tag column? For example: ID	CONCEPT	TAG
18	EARLOBE	bodypart
837	BLUE	color
3749	HATE (LOATHING)	emotion

In fact, why not. This is useful metadata information. What we can also do, if you present this list as a blog post before, is computing COVERAGE with our current lexibank data collection. I'd then in time show you how to do so, but this means, you would have for each concept a direct overview on the number of languages, language families, and the state of the data (transcription, only orthographic form, etc.).

This would actually be anyway an important step here for the analysis. You'd also learn how to run CL Toolkit on all of the lexibank data (which is a bit time consuming, but useful), and we'd have a closer integration with pylexibank and could use this later to filter the data we want to use!

Cool! That's exactly what I was thinking of. I'll start working on the list and get back to you when it is ready in order to test the CL toolkit part.
