Dictionary of Abstract and Concrete Words of the Russian Language: A Methodology for Creation and Application
The paper describes the first stage of a project on creating an electronic dictionary with numerical estimates of the degree of abstractness and concreteness of Russian words. Our approach is to integrate data obtained from several different sources: text corpora, psycholinguistic experiments, published dictionaries, markers of abstractness (certain suffixes) and a translation of a similar dict...
متن کاملConcrete Not Abstract
nouns are those nouns which do not have a concrete referent. Table, horse, university are concrete nouns; joy, death, hegemony etc are abstract terms. There is nothing wrong with abstract nouns, but because they can have many different meanings to different people (what, for instance, springs into your mind when you think of joy?), they need to be described with concrete details. Use short sent...
متن کاملFN400 and LPC memory effects for concrete and abstract words.
According to dual-process models, recognition memory depends on two neurocognitive mechanisms: familiarity, which has been linked to the frontal N400 (FN400) effect in studies using ERPs, and recollection, which is reflected by changes in the late positive complex (LPC). Recently, there has been some debate over the relationship between FN400 familiarity effects and N400 semantic effects. Accor...
متن کاملSemantic Neighborhood Effects for Abstract versus Concrete Words
Studies show that semantic effects may be task-specific, and thus, that semantic representations are flexible and dynamic. Such findings are critical to the development of a comprehensive theory of semantic processing in visual word recognition, which should arguably account for how semantic effects may vary by task. It has been suggested that semantic effects are more directly examined using t...
متن کاملForgotten but not gone: savings for pictures and words in long-term memory.
Five experiments examined the relearning of words, simple line-drawing pictures, and complex photographic pictures after retention intervals of 1 to 10 weeks. For those items that were neither recalled nor recognized, the identical item was relearned better than an unrelated control item, as measured by a recall test following relearning. This relearning advantage in recall held for all three c...
