The phrase "abstract sentence" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing language, literature, or philosophy, particularly when referring to sentences that express ideas or concepts without concrete examples.
Example: "The abstract sentence 'Freedom is a state of mind' illustrates a philosophical concept rather than a tangible reality."
Alternatives: "conceptual statement" or "theoretical sentence".
Brain imaging studies suggest a different contribution of the left frontal lobe for processing metaphoric (gesture refers to abstract sentence content) in contrast to iconic (gesture refers to concrete sentence content) co-verbal gestures.
The system takes as an input an under-specified abstract sentence representation (cf. Sect. 3.2).
The resulting abstract sentence representations are similar to the previous Example 1 in Sect.
Surface realisation can be viewed as the task of mapping abstract sentence representations to word strings in a target language.
Each test sentence was converted into an abstract sentence representation by performing two tasks: (1) every content word was replaced by its lemma and (2) the constituent ordering of NP and VP modifiers was randomised.
We described a 2-stage shallow surface realisation system for Brazilian Portuguese generation that takes as an input an abstract sentence representation and over-generates multiple candidate sentences with the aid of a small set of language-dependent linearisation rules.
Figure 3 The recall (dashed line), precision (dotted line) and F measure (solid line) of MeSH Automated Annotation (MAA) on titles only and on title and selected abstract sentences of the test corpus with a series of algorithmic filters added cumulatively.
This decrease was not observed when participants were engaged in abstract sentences listening.
Moreover, no modulation of cortico-spinal reactivity was associated with either negative or positive polarity abstract sentences.
We sought to determine whether reading negative polarity sentences brought about differential modulation of cortico-spinal motor excitability depending on processing hand-action related or abstract sentences.
The first result of our study is the decrease of MEP amplitudes when subjects silently read positive action-related sentences compared to positive abstract sentences.
