A dataset containing ratings for 5,553 English word forms and senses across nine psycholinguistic dimensions from Scott et al. (2019). Dimensions include arousal, valence, dominance, concreteness, imageability, familiarity, age of acquisition, semantic size, and gender association. The sense column is NA for base word forms and contains a context label for sense-disambiguated entries.
