Feature Norms
Feature norms are short descriptions of typical attributes for a set of objects. They often describe the visual appearance (a firetruck is red), function or purpose (a cup holds liquid), location (mushrooms grow in forests), and relationships between objects (a cheetah is a cat). The underlying features are usually elicited by asking a subject to carefully describe a cue object, and recording their responses. The quantification of the resulting object-feature pairs is called feature norms.
We collected feature norms for a set of 572 concrete, depictable German noun compounds and their constituents, comprising 244 noun-noun compounds and their corresponding constituents. For example, we include features for Schneeball (snowball), Schnee (snow), and Ball (ball).
