Dual-character concept

A dual-character concept requires two things to determine category membership: a set of concrete features, and the abstract values that these features serve to realize.

Such concepts were first defined by Joshua Knobe, Sandeep Prasada and George E Newman in 2013.

[1] The prototypical dual-character concept is "artist".

Other examples are scientist, Christian, and gangster.
