Research on figurative meaning in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) would benefit from considering a greater variety of data types and using more diverse methods. Previous studies have predominantly applied experimental methods to investigate processing of figurative language (mostly metaphor) and have for the most part concluded that individuals with ASD have deficits in figurative language comprehension. In this study, we focus on the creation and communication of figurative meaning in discursively situated and thematically organized verbal, gestural, and pictorial data published by an autistic artist in the form of videos and comics. Across three prominent experiential themes in the data, we isolate types of conceptualizations and generalize over mappings between target and source experiences. We find that the data are rich in figurative meaning expression (e.g., metaphor and metonymy) conveyed through language, co-speech gestures, and pictures in ways that are clearly embodied (experientially based) and that reflect affordances and constraints of these modes of communication. While our case study of meaning production does not contradict previous research on figurative meaning comprehension in populations, it does indicate benefits of taking a broader and multimodal approach to figurative meaning in research on ASD.

自闭症艺术家多模式作品中的比喻意义:一种认知语义方法

对自闭症谱系障碍 (ASD) 中比喻意义的研究将受益于考虑更多种类的数据类型和使用更多样化的方法。以前的研究主要应用实验方法来研究比喻语言(主要是隐喻)的处理,并且大部分得出的结论是,患有 ASD 的人在比喻语言理解方面存在缺陷。在这项研究中,我们专注于在自闭症艺术家以视频和漫画的形式发布的话语位置和主题组织的口头、手势和图片数据中的比喻意义的创造和交流。在数据中三个突出的体验主题中,我们分离了概念化的类型,并概括了目标和源体验之间的映射。我们发现,这些数据具有丰富的比喻意义表达(例如,隐喻和转喻),通过语言、共同语音手势和图片以清晰体现(基于经验)的方式传达,并反映了这些交流模式的可供性和限制. 虽然我们对意义产生的案例研究与先前关于人群中比喻意义理解的研究并不矛盾,但它确实表明在 ASD 研究中采用更广泛和多模式的比喻意义方法的好处。
