The extent to which word representations are accessible outside of conscious awareness is still debated. • This study investigates subliminal semantic processing using a masked priming paradigm. • Two experiments compared spatial metaphors of time and numbers, distinguishing linguistic vs. conceptual-only mappings. • Results showed that subliminal priming occurred only for linguistic metaphors, while conscious priming emerged for both. The limits…

Sentences with a plural subject receive a distributive reading if the predicate refers to the atomic members, or a collective one if it relates to the whole group. Previous accounts suggest that the distributive representation includes an additional semantic operator, and comprehension experiments show that adults interpret an ambiguous sentence as collective. However, children accept distributive readings more frequently, questioning their presu…
