There is a lack of indices of rated association for English words, in contrast to a large pool of rated nonsense syllables. To fill this need, 446 English words were randomly selected from Webster's New International Dictionary to represent all English monosyllables, bisyllables, and trisyllables. They were rated for associations on a 7-point scale by 126 Ss. From the ratings three indices of association were obtained. All indices have uncorrected reliabilities in the range 0.95–0.98.
