    In both, language and music, both concrete and abstract target words elicited significant N400 effects.

    A noun might have a literal (concrete) and also a figurative (abstract) meaning: "a brass key" and "the key to success"; "a block in the pipe" and "a mental block".

    Like with albums above, unless more than one article [a] about songs of the same name exist, there is no need to disambiguate any further. Use the disambiguation "(song)" for articles about songs and acapellas. Use "(instrumental)" or "(composition)" for instrumentals and non-lyrical musical compositions (excepting classical music).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classifier_(linguistics)

    In Malay grammar, classifiers are used to count all nouns, including concrete nouns, abstract nouns [23] and phrasal nouns. Nouns are not reduplicated for plural form when used with classifiers, definite or indefinite, although Mary Dalrymple and Suriel Mofu give counterexamples where reduplication and classifiers co-occur.

  9. Absolute music - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_music

    Absolute music (sometimes abstract music) is music that is not explicitly "about" anything; in contrast to program music, it is non-representational.
