Concreteness and Subjectivity as Dimensions of Lexical Meaning

- Summary
- Metrics

Abstract

We quantify the lexical subjectivity of adjectives using a corpus-based method, and show for the first time that it correlates with noun concreteness in large corpora. These cognitive dimensions together influence how word meanings combine, and we exploit this fact to achieve performance improvements on the semantic classification of adjective-noun pairs.
