{"pk":28661,"title":"Is It Better to Be in Shape or on Top of It? The Impact of Control, Valence, and\nExpectedness on Non-Spatial Uses of in and on","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Using the prepositions in and on, Jamrozik and Gentner (2015;\n2014; 2011) explored a particular factor of meaning that was\nhypothesized to serve as a metaphorical link between spatial\nand abstract concepts. Across several studies, these researchers\nhave provided evidence for the idea that there is a “continuum\nof control” that exists for both spatial and abstract uses of in\nand on. Our research explores other potential meaning factors\nthat might play a role in non-spatial uses of in and on. Our\nresults replicate and extend Jamrozik and Gentner’s (2011)\nfindings. We advocate using a multi-componential approach as\nresearch involving indirect metaphors continues moving\nforward.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"prepositions; spatial language; abstract language;\nmetaphor; language understanding; semantics"}],"section":"Papers with Poster Presentations","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3n87t7dk","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Brooke","middle_name":"O.","last_name":"Breaux","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Louisiana at Lafayette","department":""},{"first_name":"Jessi","middle_name":"Lynne","last_name":"LaSalle","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Louisiana at Lafayette","department":""},{"first_name":"Peyton","middle_name":"","last_name":"Lute","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Louisiana at Lafayette","department":""},{"first_name":"Catherine","middle_name":"","last_name":"Brousse","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Louisiana at Lafayette","department":""},{"first_name":"Claudia","middle_name":"","last_name":"Mijares","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Louisiana at Lafayette","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2019-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/28661/galley/18532/download/"}]}
