Abstract
Words are the main components of meaning in spoken and written language. Animacy is one of the words’ attributes which is referred to the distinction between animate and inanimate stimuli, and it has an important influence on the perception of words. The main aim of the present study was to provide animacy norms for Persian words. To follow this purpose, 401 words from Warriner et al., were selected and translated into Persian. Participants (n=229) rated the words’ animacy via a 5-point Likert scale. Split-half reliability of 0.97 (p<0.001), between two halves of participants is observed.
