When Congruency Meets Figurativeness
The present study investigates whether congruency facilitation and figurative interference-two counteractive effects-persist in L2 collocational processing when both congruency and figurativeness are present. A primed lexical decision task was administered to 44 L1-Chinese L2-English learners and 40 L1-English speakers to assess response times for figurative congruent collocations, along with their matched literal congruent and figurative incongr…
Figurativeness Matters in the Second Language Processing of Collocations
This study reports on a self-paced reading experiment exploring whether the figurativeness of collocations affects L2 processing of collocations. The participants were 40 English native speakers and 44 Chinese-speaking English foreign language learners (including doctoral, postgraduate, and undergraduate students). To ensure that the effect emerged from the figurativeness of collocations rather than other item-related confounds, this study added …
What makes a good metaphor? A cross-cultural study of computer-generated metaphor appreciation
Computers are now able to automatically generate metaphors, but some automatically generated metaphors are more well received than others. In this article, we showed participants a series of “A is B” type metaphors that were either generated by humans or taken from the Twitter account “MetaphorIsMyBusiness” (@MetaphorMagnet), which is linked to a fully automated metaphor generator. We used these metaphors to assess linguistic factors that drive m…

As we put our attention to the quality of teaching in basic education, a notable phenomenon cannot but arouse our attention: In recent years, the majority of students on campuses of normal schools are women. We can project that after the feminization of teachers in kindergartens and elementary schools, a similar…
