Allan Urho Paivio (1925–2016)
Presents an obituary for Allan Urho Paivio, who passed away on June 19, 2016. One of his many accomplishments was the development of a dual-coding theory. Dual-coding theory, while very influential, has, unfortunately, been discussed all too often as a theory of mental imagery, and not within its larger context wherein mental imagery and verbal processes are separable but interconnected representational systems, an academic battle in clarificatio…
When Sarcasm Stings
The use of sarcasm sometimes lessens and sometimes enhances the negativity inherent in a sarcastic statement. Using a realistic conversational format, participants read either a sarcastic or a non-sarcastic aggressive argument between same-gendered interlocutors, and rated the pragmatic goals being expressed using a range of measures taken from previous studies. A factor analysis meaningfully grouped the dependent variables into separate factors,…
Experimental Support for Conceptual Metaphors with an Episodic Memory Task
The psychological reality of conceptual metaphor theory was tested with a standard episodic memory task unused in the metaphor literature. Presentation of items from the same conceptual structure over n trials leads to a buildup of proactive interference that is released (leading to increased recall) on trial n+1 if a new conceptual structure is engaged. This pattern was seen when the conceptual structures were putative conceptual metaphors and c…
Moment-By-Moment Reading of Proverbs in Literal and Nonliteral Contexts
Introduction to the Special Issue
The availability of conventional and of literal meaning during the comprehension of proverbs
The confusion between sentential figurativeness and conventionality found in many of the experiments on figurative language comprehension is here disentangled by factorially crossing the figurativeness of a proverb (determined by discourse context) with conventionality (determined by familiarity of use). Familiar proverbs are conventionally used in their figurative (and not literal) sense whereas for unfamiliar proverbs the literal meaning (and n…
Pragmatics and the processing of metaphors
A model of metaphor processing is suggested based on the application of pragmatic principles to the type of semantic information easy to access. It is argued that, with metaphor, higher-order categorical knowledge is given processing preference over instance-specific knowledge in an attempt to recover likely intended meaning. Instance-specific information is used more often when the higher-order knowledge is taken to violate conversational postul…
