    "title": "Evidence for widespread thematic structure in the mental lexicon",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Semantic structure in the mental lexicon is often assumed to\nfollow a taxonomic structure grouping similar items. This\nstudy uses a network clustering analysis of a massive word\nassociation dataset that does not primarily focus on concrete\nnoun categories, but includes the majority of the words used\nin daily life. At this scale, we found widespread overlap\nbetween thematically organized clusters, arguing against a\ndiscrete categoric view of the lexicon. An empirical analysis\nfocusing on taxonomic categories confirmed the widespread\nthematic structure even for concrete noun categories in the\nanimal domain. Overall, this suggests that applying network\nclustering to word association data provides valuable insight\ninto how large-scale semantic information is represented. This\nanalysis leads to a different, more thematic topology than the\none inferred from idealized small-scale approaches that sample\nonly specific parts of the lexicon",
