“…In human cultures of today, the most common types of word meaning structures are so-called "everyday concepts" (or "complexes") and "scientific concepts" (Vygotsky, 1996;Vygotsky & Luria, 1994). These two types of WMS have been differentiated in developmental psychology (e.g., Luria, 1979;Nelson, 1996;Toomela, 2003b), in cultural psychology (e.g., Luria, 1979;Toomela, 1996Toomela, , 2003a, and in neuropsychology (e.g., Funnell, 2001;Luria, 1979;Toomela, Tomberg, Orasson, Tikk, & Nômm, 1999). Words of the Everyday Concept type encode information on the basis of perceptual attributes of word referents and on the basis of the observation of events in everyday life; word meanings are tied to immediate sensory experiences (e.g., "'car' and 'bicycle' go together because both have round wheels").…”
