Abstract
We report data from the Small World of Singlish Words (SWOSW) Project, where word associations are obtained for a list of common Singlish words. Singapore English, colloquially known as Singlish, is a dialect of English spoken in Singapore. Free association data on these words were collected from a young adult population of university undergraduates using an online survey platform. This data enables the construction of semantic networks, allowing one to examine the semantic structure of individual words in the Singlish lexicon, as well as to compare differences in semantic structure across groups of participants.
