The ability to assign meaning to perceptual stimuli forms the basis of human behavior and the ability to use language. The meanings of things have primarily been probed using behavioral production norms and corpus-derived statistical methods. However, it is not known to what extent the collection method and the language being probed influence the resulting semantic feature vectors. In this study, we compare behavioral with corpus-based norms, across Finnish and English, using an all-to-all approach. To complete the set of norms required for this study, we present a new set of Finnish behavioral production norms, containing both abstract and concrete concepts. We found that all the norms provide largely similar information about the relationships of concrete objects and allow item-level mapping across norms sets. This validates the use of the corpus-derived norms which are easier to obtain than behavioral norms, which are labor-intensive to collect, for studies that do not depend on subtle differences in meaning between close semantic neighbors.
