Spanish, Hungarian, and English speakers free-word association (FWA) with the meaning of "sweets"

Description

This file contains organized qualitative free-association data: participants’ open-ended responses to the word “sweets,” grouped by response language (Hungarian, English, Spanish, French). It is not raw survey data in spreadsheet form but a coded summary that combines descriptive counts (response number, percentages, most common answers) with response lists and translations/explanations, making it suitable for content analysis or cross-linguistic comparison.

Steps to reproduce

Gather various language speaking participants’ free-association responses to the word “sweets,” then assign each response to a primary language and standardize obvious spelling and capitalization variants. Next, count response frequencies in each language, calculate totals and percentages, and present the results as an overview table along with language-specific lists sorted by frequency, including translations or notes where needed.
