Results of multiple linear regression analysis for abstract concepts with concreteness/abstractness as dependent variable and relative frequency of the “sensorimotor feature” and “internal state/emotion” categories, familiarity ratings and lemma frequency as predictors.

All variables in the model have been tested for collinearity by using variance inflation factors (VIFs). All VIFs were < 5.0 indicating that the independent variables are not collinear (Urban and Mayerl, 2006); R2adj. = adjusted R2; β = standardized coefficient; SE = standard error, t =
