  abstract = {Instances (``Mozart'') are ontologically distinct from
                  concepts or classes (``composer''). Natural language
                  encompasses both, but instances have received
                  comparatively little attention in distributional
                  semantics. Our results show that instances and
                  concepts differ in their distributional
                  properties. We also establish that instantiation
                  detection (``Mozart -- composer'') is generally
                  easier than hypernymy detection (``chemist --
                  scientist''), and that results on the influence of
                  input representation do not transfer from hyponymy
                  to instantiation.},
