Abstract and concrete concepts have structurally different representational frameworks.
The architecture supporting our conceptual knowledge of abstract words has remained almost entirely unexplored. By contrast, a vast neuropsychological, neurolinguistic and neuroimaging literature has addressed questions relating to the structure of the semantic system underpinning our knowledge of concrete items (e.g. artefacts and animals). In the context of semantic refractory access dysphasi...
متن کاملRepresentational Succinctness of Abstract Dialectical Frameworks
Representational succinctness is the ability of a formalism with modeltheoretic semantics to express interpretation sets in a space-efficient way. In this paper we analyse the representational succinctness of abstract dialectical frameworks (ADFs) under the two-valued model semantics. We also compare ADFs’ succinctness to related formalisms like propositional logic, argumentation frameworks (un...
متن کاملContent Differences for Abstract and Concrete Concepts
Concept properties are an integral part of theories of conceptual representation and processing. To date, little is known about conceptual properties of abstract concepts, such as idea. This experiment systematically compared the content of 18 abstract and 18 concrete concepts, using a feature generation task. Thirty-one participants listed characteristics of the concepts (i.e., item properties...
متن کاملDifferent Domains in Abstract Concepts
This study is a first attempt to unravel the almost unexplored domain of abstract conceptual knowledge. Four kinds of abstract concepts (nominal kinds, states of the self, cognitiveconcepts (nominal kinds, states of the self, cognitive processes, and emotion concepts) were investigated in two experiments. Emotion concepts displayed a specific pattern in both concreteness/abstractness and imager...
