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".[2] It has both a concrete dimension (technical mastery), and an abstract dimension (aesthetic values). Other examples are scientist, Christian, and gangster.[3]
It has been suggested that the concepts of beauty[4][3] and gender[2] are dual-character concepts.
