本研究基于眼动追踪技术,从行为表征维度对大众类(PPC)和专业类(RAC)经济语篇中隐喻阅读加工的行为真实性进行组内与组间比较。组内考察早期和晚期阶段隐喻性和直陈性词汇加工时的语义通达情况,组间探究两类词汇加工时的认知负荷程度。研究发现,词汇加工的早期阶段可激活不同语义类型,晚 期阶段唯有直陈义可优先通达。隐喻义的激活过程在晚期阶段占主导地位,且这种效应只出现在晚期阶段。 与PPC相比,被试加工RAC隐喻性词汇需要投入更大的认知负荷。PPC和RAC的语篇类型具有家族相似 性,但其隐喻加工的行为表征依然可呈现显著差异。

In this study, we compare the behavioral reality of metaphorical processing during reading in PPC and RAC economic discourse within and between groups based on eye-tracking. The intra-group study focuses on investigating the semantic access of metaphorical and literal word processing in the early and late stage, while the inter-group study mainly explores the cognitive load of metaphorical and literal word processing. It can be found that different semantic types are activated in the early stage of lexical processing, whereas only the literal meaning can be preferentially accessed in the late stage. The activation process of metaphorical meaning is dominant in the late stage and the effect is restricted to the late stage. Participants are required to put more cognitive load on the processing of RAC metaphorical words in comparison with that of PPC. Although PPC and RAC share family resemblance in terms of discourse type, their respective behavioral representations of metaphorical processing still show significant differences.
