Introduction Emotions are critical in our lives, and language is undoubtedly the most sophisticated means to convey them. Psycholinguistic studies investigating word recognition have long underestimated the role of emotion content of words, and considered emotion words as comparable to neutral words. Following Morton (1979, cited in Jared, Poh &amp; Paivio, 2013), who suggested that concrete words have both verbal and visual associations while abstract words can only be labelled verbally, this line of research, then, categorized emotion words as abstract words. However, emotions’ distinctive role have prompted researchers into examining them in verbal communication. It was Altarriba, Bauer and Benvenuto (1999) who first suggested that emotion words form a distinct category and should be classified separately. Later research both confirmed and strengthened this view, leading to the distinction even among emotion word category. Accordingly, it was argued that words in this category were different in terms of their conceptual associations such that some words directly refer to affective states such as sadness, happiness or anger (emotion words), while others (emotion-laden words) relate to emotions indirectly (Altarriba, 2006; Pavlenko, 2008). To put differently, the former labels emotions while the latter elicits emotions. Based on the idea of either direct or indirect reference to emotional states, it is argued in the literature that emotion words are more easily recognized than emotion-laden words. This is called Mediated Account, according to which, in the recognition of emotion-laden words, conceptual access comes first and is followed by access to affective meanings, leading to longer and more effortful processing, while in the recognition of emotion words, affective meanings are directly accessible, enabling faster recognition. In addition to the role of word types in the psycholinguistic aspects of word recognition literature, lexical features like valence (i.e. whether a word is positive or negative) and word advantage (i.e. whether a word is meaningful or not) have been a topic of interest. Extant literature investigating the former has firmly established that positive words have a processing advantage compared to negative words (Positivity Effect). Evolutionary perspective relates this priviledge to our tendency to approach to positive stimuli and ward off negative stimuli to ensure the survival of the species, as the latter is taken as a threat to survival (Taylor, 1991; Estes &amp; Adelman, 2008). Similarly, Word Superiority Effect is known as the ease and comfort with which one can discriminate meaningful words from non-words. This has been attributed to the availability of conceptual associations of real words, which non-words lack although they can be phonologically and orthographically legitimate words in a given language.Method The main focus of this study is to investigate the difference between the two types of words in Turkish. Following the literature, it was also aimed to disclose whether the two widely accepted phenomena, namely Positivity Effect and Word Superority Effect, will be replicated in Turkish. To this end, thirty-nine participants were recruited to take part in a lexical decision task in which they were told to decide whether the word strings they were presented on the screen were real words or non-words. Based on the native speakers’ categorization of Turkish words from a pool of 180 words, the stimuli used in the study consisted of a total of forty words categorized as emotion and emotion-laden words (20 positive and 20 negative). Also, forty non-words were formed by changing the letters of real words in Turkish. Following a trial session to familiarize the participants with the procedure, the stimuli were presented in two blocks. The data was analyzed by using 2 (emotion vs. emotion-laden words) x 2 (positive vs. negative) ANOVA for Repeated Measures.&nbsp;Results and Discussion The results were in line with those obtained in the literature. First, it was found that emotion words were processed significantly faster than emotion-laden words. This result can be explained by Mediated Account, which predicts longer response times due to indirect access to emotion-laden words. This view has found considerable support in the literature (Altarriba &amp; Basnight-Brown, 2011; Kazanas &amp; Altarriba, 2015, 2016; Liu et al., 2022: Wu et al., 2021a). Second, in line with the hypothesis of the current study and the relevant literature (Kousta, Vinson &amp; Vigliocco, 2011), positive words in Turkish were processed faster than negative words. Considering our evolutionary background, the privileged status of positive emotions is an expected outcome. Finally, Word Superiority Effect was investigated, and it was found that real words were processed faster. These results confirm and extend the current results in the psycholinguistic literature and provide support from Turkish language.

&nbsp;The relationship between language and meaning has intrigued not only researchers focused on language but also many philosophers throughout the history of thought. Where do the meanings behind linguistic labels reside? Are they independent of human cognition? Are these meanings defined with precise boundaries and exist as truths in themselves, as in Plato’s realm of ideas? The exploration of ideas on meaning within the field of philosophy exceeds the scope of this study. Therefore, only the fundamental ideas of Plato and Aristotle will be discussed here. The selection of these two philosophers is due to the fundamental distinction they present. Both philosophers considered the formation and determination of meaning to be independent of the human body and cognition. However, they differ in their views on the location of meaning. Plato positioned meaning in the realm of ideas, claiming that neither nature nor human bodies and cognition have any influence over it. According to Plato, meaning exists as a truth in the world of ideas, and linguistic labels are given by those who discover these ideas. These name-givers, Plato argues, do not assign meanings based on their bodily experiences or natural surroundings, but rather by discovering the inherent meanings in the realm of ideas. Aristotle, however, brought meaning down to the level of the world, proposing that meaning is inherent in objects and that names—or, more contemporarily, words—are assigned by society. Aristotle’s view of meaning is that it is intrinsic to the object itself, much like Plato, leaving no role for the human body or experience. What is more significant is that many schools of thought in linguistics are built on Aristotelian logic. In linguistics, words are considered arbitrary, a view that aligns more with Aristotle than with Plato. Additionally, Aristotelian classical category theory dominated linguistic thought, particularly up until the emergence of Cognitive Linguistics. The underlying idea in this theory is that the meaning inherent in objects form categories independent of the human body and experience. Thus, for a creature to be classified as a "BIRD," it must possess all the necessary and sufficient features that define what it means to be a bird. In subsequent research, it has been proven that the body plays a significant role in the formation of concepts. Thinkers raised questions, some of which are crucial for understanding&nbsp;&nbsp;this progression, and these questions influenced the process of recognising this role. For example, the Sorites paradox, which questions the boundary of the word "heap," demonstrates the flexibility of meaning boundaries. The paradox asks: At what point does a heap become a heap when grains of sand are added? Three grains of sand are not considered a heap, five grains are not considered a heap, but a million grains are. So, at what point did it become a heap? These questions illustrate the fluidity of meaning boundaries. Another significant theory regarding the boundaries of meaning and how one enters these boundaries emerged during Wittgenstein’s later period. According to Wittgenstein’s theory, which arose from his observation of the blurred boundaries of the "Game" category, it is not necessary for a linguistic label to possess all the required and sufficient features to enter the category, as claimed by classical category theory. Instead, categories are formed through family resemblance. Just as family members do not all look exactly alike but share certain similarities, a game does not need to share all the features of other games to be classified as a "Game"; it only needs to share some features. Eleanor Rosch’s (1973) prototype category theory and the subsequent research that developed around it represent significant steps in understanding category boundaries and membership. Cognitive linguists, working within the interdisciplinary framework of cognitive science, have emphasised the role of the body in defining the boundaries of meanings behind linguistic labels and have examined these boundaries through bodily movements and perceptual limits. Image schemas, conceptual metaphors, and prototype categories are studies that shed light on the role of the body in meaning formation within the framework of embodied cognition theory. Thus, meaning is neither an untouchable truth in the realm of ideas nor an intrinsic property of objects that exists independently. Meaning is created where nature does not draw clear boundaries, through shared bodies and cultures.
