Metaphors of happiness in Spanish
This paper investigates the affective dimension of metaphor meaning. Previous research has extensively examined the role of metaphor conventionality in metaphor comprehension, however, less attention has been given to whether the level of conventionality — a metaphor’s familiarity or salience — is related to its affective component. This study addresses that question in the context of happiness metaphors in Spanish. The study has two main objecti…
Fake News are Easier, More Emotional and Less Complex
Characterizing false information based on linguistic analysis is important to understand the factors that affect the proliferation of fake news in the media. Previous work has identified some linguistic regularities that suggest a trend towards decreased complexity, polarization and sentiment in false information. This study is aimed at identifying linguistic differences between real and fake news using a corpus of annotated media news in Spanish…

The interplay of sensory and motoric information on processing emotions in narrative texts
This study examines the comprehension of characters' emotional states in written narrative texts. Recent theories of embodied cognition suggest that emotions are grounded in somatosensory information involving 'reexperiencing' of actions and perceptions. In addition, views of graded embodied cognition suggest that there are levels of the embodiment of language, focusing on how perceptual and motor information interact during text comprehension. I…
Psicología de las masas y democratización digital de la información
La World Wide Web promete una vía hacia la democratización de la información. Sin embargo, si bien los medios online ofrecen espacios para la pluralidad y la diversidad de voces, las nuevas formas de difusión de noticias presentan riesgos: el colectivo tiende a constituirse en “cámaras de eco” donde los mensajes se refuerzan y distorsionan potenciando ideologías extremas de naturaleza totalitaria. Este artículo se pregunta por el goce del sujeto …
The relationship between narrative comprehension, working memory and vocabulary in Uruguayan 4- to 8-year-old children
Introduction: Dating violence is a significant social concern, requiring reliable measurement tools for accurate assessment. This study conducts a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate and synthesise existing instruments used to measure face-to-face dating violence employed in Ibero-America. Method: The study followed PRISMA guidelines, conducting a comprehensive search from December 2022 to April 2023 across SCOPUS, PubMed, PsychINFO, …

War Metaphors in Feminist Discourse
War metaphors are ubiquitous in feminism-related discourse, portraying activists as warriors against patriarchy. Recent research in critical discourse analysis shows positive and negative implications of using war metaphors in relation to political matters. The use of empowerment language reveals a subversive position taken by feminists in the construction of its own narrative. Building on Judith Butler’s idea of ethical violence, we examine the …

Mechanisms involved in the formation of metaphorical classes within the framework of the class-inclusion model of metaphor comprehension
According to Glucksberg’s class-inclusion model of metaphor comprehension, metaphors are understood by the inclusion of the topic X into a metaphorical class of the vehicle Y. But what is the cognitive mechanisms through which X is included in the metaphorical class of Y? Drawing on previous literature on the roles of semantic features, metonymy, and relations in metaphor processing, this article presents a new proposal according to which every m…
Estudio sobre producción del lenguaje en niños con parálisis cerebral usuarios de Comunicación Aumentativa y Alternativa
Los niños que usan sistemas aumentativos y alternativos de comunicación (SAAC) experimentan dificultades significativas en la producción del lenguaje complejo, en particular, para construir narraciones ficticias o personales. La aproximación socioconstructivista al desarrollo ha realizado un amplio aporte teórico que muestra el importante papel de las narrativas en el establecimiento de la identidad personal y social (Botting, 2002; Bruner, 2004)…
Metaphorical framing of feminism and women in Spanish online media
Online media has enabled the representation of important feminist ideas. However, a tendency towards a negative and sexualized construction of feminism in popular culture has been documented. One way to examine opinions and attitudes towards social matters is to explore metaphors as they influence reasoning and decision-making. Previous work has shown that common metaphor patterns for women include comparing them to animals or plants, body parts,…

Emotion metaphors in Spanish retain aspects of spatial meaning
Previous work has shown that the abstract use of the spatial prepositions in and on retains spatial meaning, such as containment and support that includes the control relationship between a located object (the figure) and a reference object (the landmark/ground) ( Feist & Gentner, 2003 ; Talmy, 1983 ). We extend these ideas to the case of metaphorical descriptions of emotion in Spanish—some of them featuring the emotion as a located entity in the…

Metaphorical conceptualization of emotion in Spanish
Over the last two decades, accumulating work in cognitive science and cognitive linguistics has provided evidence that language shapes thought. Conceptual metaphor theory proposes that the conceptual structure of emotions emerges through metaphorization from concrete concepts such as spatial orientation and physical containment. Primary metaphors for emotions have been described in a wide range of languages. Here we show, in Study 1, the results …
Frequency Affects Object Relative Clause Processing
The processing difficulty of nested grammatical structure has been explained by different psycholinguistic theories. Here I provide corpus and behavioral evidence in favor of usage-based models, focusing on the case of object relative clauses in Spanish as a first language. A corpus analysis of spoken Spanish reveals that, as in English, the overwhelming majority of object relative clauses are pronominal. Spanish allows flexibility of order of su…
Biological Adaptations for Functional Features of Language in the Face of Cultural Evolution
Although there may be no true language universals, it is nonetheless possible to discern several family resemblance patterns across the languages of the world. Recent work on the cultural evolution of language indicates the source of these patterns is unlikely to be an innate universal grammar evolved through biological adaptations for arbitrary linguistic features. Instead, it has been suggested that the patterns of resemblance emerge because la…
