Abstract
Cluster analysis of data obtained on a sorting task confirmed a componential analysis of motion verbs for 80% of the sample of words used. This indicates that the analysis is reasonable but may need further refinement to describe better how language users understand the words and the relations among their meanings.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
