| dc.description.abstract (摘要) | We examine the processing of various conceptual relations between two nominal referents, construed as hyponymy, metonymy, metaphor, and tautology in the copular construction [NP-COP-NP], differing minimally at the predicational NP. While the four arguably share conceptual class-inclusion, they vary in combinatorial meaning transparency, informativity of the literal reading, and logical truthfulness. Metaphor recruits a cross-domain mapping between two concepts, whereas metonymy involves a within-domain part-whole mapping. Tautology manifests a stereotypical token-type relation with pragmatic inference. Results of our self-paced reading experiment showed: 1) an effect of compositional meaning transparency, with faster comprehension for hyponymy denoting explicit class-inclusion; 2) greater cost for metonymy and metaphor at the predicational NP, reflecting the within- and cross-domain mappings; 3) the cost of metonymy persisted longer than metaphor, presumably because comprehenders backtracked to the subject NP to retrieve its metonymic meaning after encountering the predicational NP; and 4) tautology exhibited an initial facilitation at the predicational NP followed by increased cost sentence-finally, likely associated with noun repetition and information integration respectively. The findings reveal divergent processing profiles for distinct conceptual relations construed in the copular construction, with the computation load of the nontransparent metonymy, metaphor, and tautology peaking at different time windows during real-time comprehension. | |
