Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2012 There is much empirical evidence that words’ relative imageability and body-object interaction (BOI) facilitate lexical processing for concrete nouns (e.g., Bennett, Burnett, Siakaluk, & Pexman, 2011).

Be concrete to be comprehended:consistent imageability effects in semantic dementia for nouns, verbs, synonyms and associates [PDF]
Cortex, 2013 There are two contrasting views on the nature of comprehension impairment in semantic dementia: (a) that it stems from degradation of a pan-modal " hub" that represents core conceptual knowledge or (b) that it results from degradation of modality ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Verbal Idioms: Concrete Nouns in Abstract Contexts
, 2021 In this paper, we present our approach for the KONVENS 2021 shared task Disambiguation of German Verbal Idioms. Our model is a decision tree-based classifier that uses static word embeddings and computed concreteness values to predict whether a verbal idiom is used figuratively or literal.

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.

Вестник Самарского университета: История, педагогика, филология, 2020 The article aims to demonstrate the semantic diversity of the nouns formed with the suffix -ost, which have been considered as one of the most regular word-formation types in the modern Russian language.

Verbs as linguistic markers of agency: The social side of grammar [PDF]
, 2018 open4Basic grammatical categories may carry social meanings irrespective of their semantic content. In a set of four studies, we demonstrate that verbs—a basic linguistic category present and distinguishable in most languages—are related to the ...
