Abstract
[Resumo] O presente estudo tem por finalidade tentar demonstrar a não exequibilidade das tentativas
de apresentação de critérios dualistas para a classificação tradicional concreto-abstracto
na categoria gramatical nome. Depois de sintetizadas as visões tradicionais e respectivos
critérios justificativos, apresentam-se os resultados de um inquérito (1403 inquiridos,
22448 respostas) que comprovam que a classificação concreto-abstracto apresenta graus de
saliência variável, mas não aleatória, entre os falantes. A partir destes resultados e dentro de
uma visão cognitiva do significado como resultante multimodal dos processos perceptivos
do ser humano, explana-se um quadro justificativo das relações existentes entre as duas
vertentes: mecanismos perceptivos utilizados na conceptualização do real e grau atribuído
ao nome na escala concreto-abstracto.
[Abstract] This paper claims the impossibility of dualistic criteria to explain satisfactorily traditional nouns classification in terms of concrete-abstract. After summarizing the traditional perspectives and criteria, we present the results of an investigation (1403 people, 22448 answers) showing that the referred classification has variable salience degrees, but not aleatory, among speakers. From these results and within a cognitive vision of the linguistic meaning as a multimodal construction of the human perceptive processes, a scheme is proposed trying to explain the relations between perception and the salience degree of the noun in the concrete-abstract scale
