Résumé
Reaction times for understanding target sentences or phrases in terms of a preceding context were measured in 2 experiments with a total of 88 undergraduates. In Exp I, the target sentences followed either short or long contexts which induced either literal interpretations or metaphorical ones. Results indicate that only in the short context condition did Ss take significantly longer to understand metaphorical than literal targets. This interaction is explained in terms of the availability of appropriate schemata for interpreting the target. In Exp II, targets were phrases that could be given either an idiomatic or a literal interpretation. Findings show that the comprehension of phrases receiving an idiomatic interpretation took no longer than the comprehension of those same phrases when given a literal interpretation, and there was some evidence that idiomatic interpretations were consistently faster. It is argued that both experiments can be accounted for in terms of contextually generated expectations. The processes required for the comprehension of figurative and literal uses of language seem to be essentially similar. (16 ref) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2007 APA, all rights reserved)
