Although many properties may be ascribed to the referent of a concrete noun, a sentence context may emphasize only some of these properties. Three experiments investigated whether unemphasized properties of an object are nonetheless, included within the representation of a sentence that mentions the object. Results from a cued-recall task, a semantic judgment task, and a semantic priming (lexical decision) task suggested that properties which are central to the typical use of an object tend to be instantiated in the representation of sentence that mentions the object, independent of s(;nte'1ce emphasis. However, properties that are peripheral to the object's typical use tend to be instantiated only when emphasized by the sentence. These results suggest that the interpretation of a concrete noun is a function of both the sentence context and the central properties of the referent denoted by the noun.
