    "title": "Interpreting Metaphors in Real-time: Cross-modal Evidence for Exhaustive Access",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Natural language is replete with figurative expressions like\nmy lawyer is a shark, and listeners are expected to intuitively\nunderstand the intended, rather than the literal, meaning of\nsuch expressions. But what cognitive resources are involved\nin attaining meaning for such sentences? Most research into\nmetaphor comprehension has employed offline reading tasks\nthat provide no insight into the time-course of metaphor\nprocessing. In order to investigate the moment-by-moment\non-line processes involved in metaphor comprehension, the\npresent study used a naturalistic cross-modal lexical decision\nparadigm (Swinney, 1979) with novel brief masked target\npresentations during and after the vehicle word (shark).\nResults obtained from a preliminary sample demonstrated\npriming of related target words across conditions, but no\nsignificant differences between conditions. These results may\nbest be interpreted as supporting an exhaustive-access account\nof metaphor interpretation, which suggests that literal and\nmetaphorical interpretations are simultaneously accessed\nduring the early stages of metaphor/simile interpretation.",
