Abstract

Concreteness ratings are presented for 37,058 English words and 2,896 two-word expressions (such as zebra crossing and zoom in), obtained from over 4,000 participants by means of a norming study using Internet crowdsourcing for data collection. Although the instructions stressed that the assessment of word concreteness would be based on experiences involving all senses and motor responses, a comparison with the existing concreteness norms indicates that participants, as before, largely focused on visual and haptic experiences. The reported data set is a subset of a comprehensive list of English lemmas and contains all lemmas known by at least 85 % of the raters. It can be used in future research as a reference list of generally known English lemmas.

摘要

为 37058 个英文单词和 2896 个双词表达（如 zebra crossing 和 zoom in）提供了具体程度评级，这些单词和表达是通过一项基于互联网众包的规范研究，从 4000 多名参与者那里获得的。尽管说明强调对单词具体程度的评估将基于涉及所有感官和运动反应的经验，但与现有的具体程度规范进行比较表明，参与者和以前一样，主要关注视觉和触觉体验。报告的数据集中包含至少 85%的评分者所熟知的所有词目，是一个全面的英语词目清单的一个子集。它可以在未来的研究中作为一个通用英语词目的参考列表使用。
