Note Frequency counts are based on the Subtlex corpus (Brysbaert & New, 2009) and were extracted through Clearpond (Marain, Bartolotti, Chabal, & Shook, 2012). Concreteness ratings were taken from the MRC database (Wilson, 1988). The number of English senses was taken as the number of definitions in WordNet (Fellbaum, 1998). Standard deviations are shown in parentheses.
