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 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 کاملRecursion Through Dictionary Definition Space: Concrete Versus Abstract Words
At least a subset of our vocabulary must be grounded in the sensorimotor world for the words to have meaning in our minds. Analysing definitions recursively in dictionaries which use a fixed vocabulary to define all their words can give some idea of how new meanings can be grounded in terms of already grounded ones. Concrete words should be easier to ground than abstract ones, because sensorimo...
متن کاملContextual Characteristics of Concrete and Abstract Words
In this work we investigate commonalities and differences between the semantic representations of concrete and abstract words using human judgments and distributional semantics. We tackle the following questions: a) Does distributional similarity imply similarity in concreteness vs. abstractness? b) How do concrete and abstract context words co-occur with concrete and abstract words? c) Are our...
متن کاملManipulating Objects and Telling Words: A Study on Concrete and Abstract Words Acquisition
Four experiments (E1-E2-E3-E4) investigated whether different acquisition modalities lead to the emergence of differences typically found between concrete and abstract words, as argued by the words as tools (WAT) proposal. To mimic the acquisition of concrete and abstract concepts, participants either manipulated novel objects or observed groups of objects interacting in novel ways (Training 1)...
