Abstract
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> This paper presents an analysis of semantic association norms for German nouns.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> In contrast to prior studies, we not only collected associations elicited by written representations of target objects but also by their pictorial representations. In a first analysis, we identified systematic differences in the type and distribution of associate responses for the two presentation forms. In a second analysis, we applied a soft cluster analysis to the collected target-response pairs. We subsequently used the clustering to predict noun ambiguity and to discriminate senses in our target nouns.</Paragraph>
