A dual-character concept is a concept that requires both a set of concrete features and the abstract values that these features serve to realize for determining category membership. 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 include scientist, christian, gangster, etc.[3]
It has been suggested that the concepts of beauty[4][3] and gender[2] are dual-character concept.
