+## Description
+We present an attempt to link the large amount of different concept lists (aka “Swadesh lists”) which are used in the linguistic literature. This resource, the Concepticon (http://concepticon.clld.org), links 20 077 concept labels from 100 conceptlists to 2435 concept sets. Each concept set is given a unique identifier, a unique label, and a human-readable definition. 
+Concept sets are further structured by defining different relations between the concepts. The resource can be used for various purposes.  
+Serving as a rich reference for new and existing databases in diachronic and synchronic linguistics, it allows researchers a quick access to studies on semantic change, cross-linguistic polysemies, and semantic associations.
