Word processing in Parkinson's disease is impaired for action verbs but not for concrete nouns [PDF]
Neuropsychologia, 2008 Recent studies have demonstrated that processing of action words recruits cortical motor regions that are also involved in the planning and execution of the actions words refer to. The functional role of these regions in word understanding remains, however, to be clarified.

Theta synchronization predicts efficient memory encoding of concrete and abstract nouns
NeuroReport, 2000 Functional and topographical differences between processing of spoken nouns which were remembered or which were forgotten were shown by means of EEG coherence analysis. Later recalled nouns were related with increased neuronal synchronization (= cooperation) between anterior and posterior brain regions regardless of presented word category (either ...

MASS AND COUNTABILITY IN ENGLISH NOUNS [PDF]
آداب الرافدين, 1982 This paper attempts to elucidate and substantiate the points that there is a referential validity underlying nouns in English and that this validity is more apparent and consistent in concrete than in abstract nouns; also that abstract nouns, too ...

An ALE meta-analytical review of the neural correlates of abstract and concrete words
Scientific Reports, 2021 Several clinical studies have reported a double dissociation between abstract and concrete concepts, suggesting that they are processed by at least partly different networks in the brain.

Investigating the Stability of Concrete Nouns in Word Embeddings [PDF]
Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Computational Semantics - Short Papers, 2019 We know that word embeddings trained using neural-based methods (such as word2vec SGNS) are sensitive to stability problems and that across two models trained using the exact same set of parameters, the nearest neighbors of a word are likely to change. All words are not equally impacted by this internal instability and recent studies have investigated ...

Nomina Bertindak Datif Bahasa Jepang
Aksara, 2023 This research is focused on nouns that form the dative structure of Japanese, both syntactically and semantically. The purpose of this study is to categorize verbs that give rise to dative and dative-forming elements and to transcribe the meaning of ...

SEMANTIC FEATURES OF NOUNS REFERRED TO VARIOUS LEXICAL-AND-GRAMMATICAL CATEGORIES
Вестник Волгоградского государственного университета: Серия 2. Языкознание, 2020 The paper focuses on semantic properties of concrete and abstract nouns in the aspect of their cognitive categorization. The research is based on the results of two psycholinguistic experiments carried out by the author: synonym selection and word ...

The syntactic and semantic processing of mass and count nouns: an ERP study. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The present study addressed the question of whether count and mass nouns are differentially processed in the brain. In two different ERP (Event-Related Potentials) tasks we explored the semantic and syntactic levels of such distinction.

Distributional Interaction of Concreteness and Abstractness in Verb–Noun Subcategorisation [PDF]
Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Computational Semantics - Short Papers, 2019 In recent years, both cognitive and computational research has provided empirical analyses of contextual co-occurrence of concrete and abstract words, partially resulting in inconsistent pictures. In this work we provide a more fine-grained description of the distributional nature in the corpus-based interaction of verbs and nouns within ...

Concreteness: Nouns, Verbs, and Hemispheres
Cortex, 1990 The preferential processing of concrete versus abstract nouns, and of active versus static or "quiet" verbs, was investigated using a lateralized lexical decision task in 32 normal and 4 commissurotomized subjects. Both groups of subjects showed the concreteness effect for nouns in both visual fields.
