Projekt:European Sociolinguistics/Connotations

What are the connotations of some selected words?

We tried to approach this question in two ways:

1. We set up a list of words and asked people from different cultures to freely add their associations with these words. The results are given here.

2. We selected 7 words and asked people from different cultures to place these words associatively on 7 mini-scales (semantic differential). The results are given here.
