Computational analysis of individual differences in metaphor comprehension and cognitive abilities
Discourse Goals Affect the Process and Product of Nominal Metaphor Production
Indirect Categorization as a Process of Predicative Metaphor Comprehension
In this article, we address the problem of how people understand predicative metaphors such as “The rumor flew through the office,” and argue that predicative metaphors are understood as indirect (or two-stage) categorizations. In the indirect categorization process, the verb (e.g., fly) of a predicative metaphor evokes an intermediate entity, which in turn evokes a metaphoric category of actions or states (e.g., “to spread rapidly and soon disap…
Interpretive Diversity Explains Metaphor–Simile Distinction
A number of properties—aptness, topic-vehicle similarity, vehicle conventionality—have recently been used to explain a metaphorsi-mile distinction. This paper argues that interpretive diversity better explains a metaphor-simile distinction than these properties. Interpretive diversity refers to the semantic richness of the figurative interpretation of a topic-vehicle pair and is determined depending on both the number of features involved in the …
Verbal irony as implicit display of ironic environment
Augmented reality
In this paper we discuss augmented reality (AR) displays in a general sense, within the context of a reality-virtuality (RV) continuum, encompassing a large class of `mixed reality' (MR) displays, which also includes augmented virtuality (AV). MR displays are defined by means of seven examples of existing display concepts in which real objects and virtual objects are juxtaposed. Essential factors which distinguish different MR display systems fro…
