Formalising Concepts as Grounded Abstractions
The notion of concept has been studied for centuries, by philosophers, linguists, cognitive scientists, and researchers in artificial intelligence (Margolis & Laurence, 1999). There is a large literature on formal, mathematical models of concepts, including a whole sub-field of AI -- Formal Concept Analysis -- devoted to this topic (Ganter & ...

Evidence for the Concreteness of Abstract Language: A Meta-Analysis of Neuroimaging Studies
The neural mechanisms subserving the processing of abstract concepts remain largely debated. Even within the embodiment theoretical framework, most authors suggest that abstract concepts are coded in a linguistic propositional format, although they do ...

The body and the fading away of abstract concepts and words: a sign language analysis
One of the most important challenges for embodied and grounded theories of cognition concerns the representation of abstract concepts, such as freedom. Many embodied theories of abstract concepts have been proposed. Some proposals stress the similarities

Varieties of abstract concepts and their grounding in perception or action
For a very long time, theorizing in the cognitive sciences was dominated by the assumption that abstract concepts, which lack a perceivable referent, can only be handled by amodal or verbal linguistic representations.

Embodied cognition, abstract concepts, and body manipulation
Current approaches on cognition hold that concrete concepts are grounded in concrete experiences. There is no consensus, however, as to whether this is equally true for abstract concepts.
