The aim of this study was to investigate the process of metaphor comprehension in three different conditions of metaphor-prime, literal-prime, and no-prime. To achieve this objective, three experiments were conducted. In the metaphor-prime condition, each metaphor was preceded by a homo-schematic metaphor prime. In the literal-prime condition, each metaphor was preceded by a literal prime that provided some information about literal meanings of topic and vehicle of the following metaphor. In the no-prime condition, each metaphor was preceded by no stimulus. In each condition, a group of 20 participants made judgment on the sensibility of 15 metaphors. In Experiment 1, sensibility judgments in the literal-prime and metaphor-prime conditions were compared with each other. In Experiment 2, sensibility judgments in the no-prime and metaphor-prime conditions were compared with each other. In Experiment 3, sensibility judgments in the no-prime and literal-prime conditions were compared with each other. The obtained results indicated that in the metaphor-prime condition, metaphors were judged to have the highest degree of sensibility, and participants were faster in making sensibility judgments. On the other hand, in the literal-prime condition, metaphors were judged to have the lowest degree of sensibility. Therefore, it is suggested that the understanding of a homo-schematic metaphor prime activates an abstract schema. The activation of this schema prepares the ground for the understanding of the following metaphor. When a metaphor prime and its following metaphor share the same schema, the comprehender does not need to re-activate this schema to understand the following metaphor, as this schema has already been activated by metaphor prime.

同构隐喻:三种不同启动条件下的隐喻理解研究

本研究旨在探讨隐喻素数、字面素数和非素数三种不同条件下的隐喻理解过程。为了实现这一目标,进行了三个实验。在隐喻素数条件下,每个隐喻前面都有一个同构隐喻素数。在字面素语条件下,每个隐喻前面都有一个字面素数,它提供了一些关于后面隐喻的主题和载体的字面意义的信息。在非素数条件下,每个隐喻之前都没有刺激。在每种情况下,一组 20 名参与者对 15 个隐喻的敏感性进行了判断。在实验一中,比较了字面素数和隐喻素数条件下的感性判断。在实验 2 中,比较了无素数和隐喻素数条件下的敏感性判断。在实验 3 中,比较了无质数和字面质数条件下的敏感性判断。得到的结果表明,在隐喻-素数条件下,隐喻被判断为具有最高的感性程度,参与者做出感性判断的速度更快。另一方面,在字面素数条件下,隐喻被判断为具有最低程度的感性。因此,建议对同形图式隐喻素数的理解激活抽象图式。这个模式的激活为理解下面的比喻奠定了基础。当一个隐喻素数和它后面的隐喻共享相同的模式时,
