A

Aliases

• A
• whole animal
• real animal

Definition

A is coded when the response content is a whole, realistic animal.
It does not refer to an animal part or a fantastic creature.

Conditions

• The seen figure must organize as a whole animal.
• The referent has to be recognizable as a real animal, not an imagined one.
• Typical examples are a whole dog, bat, butterfly, or bird.
• If only part of the animal appears, first consider scoring-input/contents/Ad.
• If the whole animal is fantastic, mythic, or invented, first consider scoring-input/contents/(A).

Cautions

• A and scoring-input/contents/(A) share the idea of a whole animal, but differ in whether the referent is real or imagined.
• A and scoring-input/contents/Ad are separated by wholeness, not by size.
• A content by itself does not decide Popular, FQ, or the determinant.
