List of semantic features

[Xiaowei Zhao]

Dear All,

McRae et al's have developed semantic feature norms for nouns, here is
the information, you can also download it from the accompanying
website

MCRAE K., CREE G. S., SEIDENBERG M. S., MCNORGAN C. (2005). Semantic
feature production norms for a large set of living and nonliving
things. Behavior Research Methods, 37, 547-559.

Vinson and  Vigliocoo also developed norms for objects and events,
here is the information:

 Vinson D. P.,   Vigliocco G. (2008). Semantic feature production
norms for a large set of objects and events. Behavior Research
Methods, 40, 183-190.

Hope the information is useful!

Best wishes,
