The Database of Cross-Linguistic Colexifications reproducible analysis of cross-linguistic polysemies

摘要

Example of a colexification network. A strong link between ARM and HAND is shown, showing that in many languages both concepts are expressed with the same word; among others, weaker links between concepts HAND and FIVE, explainable by the number of fingers on a hand, and ELBOW and KNEE, explainable as both being joints, can also be observed.
