Visualization of term strengths. a shows data for Language 12, b shows data for Language 17. In each subfigure, each color word w of the language is plotted in blue at height CSM(w), and in red at height CSF(w). Lines are drawn to connect male and female results for word w. Points that fall within the yellow region of each graph correspond to potentially-basic color words; points above correspond to always-basic color words, and points below correspond to never-basic color words
