When prior context is minimal, compositional processing may still be engaged when reading idioms. These results support a hybrid model of processing in which multiple linguistic factors determine the type of processing engaged by the brain to comprehend non-literal language. Additionally, both cloze probability and decomposability modulated gamma band activity, with greater gamma activity for more predictable and less decomposable idioms, but at different times and with different scalp topographies, suggesting dissociable components of processing. ![]() N400 differences were also found between idiomatic and literal contexts at the point of adjective insertion. Phrases with adjective insertions reduced acceptability judgments, particularly for idioms, and led to N400 amplitude differences compared to critical words, but only for idioms. Cloze probability modulated N400 amplitudes to critical words for both idiomatic and literal phrases, whereas P600 amplitudes only elicited by idiomatic phrases were also modulated. ![]() Participants' EEG was recorded while they read sentences containing idioms that varied in decomposability and phrase-final word cloze probability, or their literal match (break the ice/slip on the ice) with little context prior to the phrase, along with adjective insertion conditions (break the freezing ice/slip on the freezing ice). Here, we examined how predictability and idiom decomposability contribute to compositional processing. Such compositional processing may differ for idioms, where the meanings of the individual words do not always relate to the figurative meaning. When reading, comprehenders construct a message-level representation and integrate new information as it becomes available. Understanding Metaphorical Expressions: Conventionality, Mappings, and Comparison Processes.University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado, United States.She then continued her postdoctoral training in the Language, Concepts, and the Brain Laboratory at the University of South Carolina, where she examined the embodiment of language through metaphor. During her postdoctoral training in the Neurobiology of Language Department at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, she expanded the scope of her research to include emotion, exploring the role of emotion in language, using ERPs and functional MRI. She received her doctoral training in Linguistics and Cognitive Science at the University of Colorado Boulder, where she used measures of brain electrical activity (ERPs) to study how people understand metaphorical language.
