    "title": "The Role of Structural Alignment in Conceptual Combination",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Many researchers have suggested that\nunderstanding novel noun phrases involves a process\nof conceptual combination in which people determine\nhow two or more conceptsfittogether to form a new\nconcept. One important way that people combine\nconcepts is by property mapping, which involves\nasserting that a property of one concq)t is true of the\nother concept as in, \"box that is striped\" for \"skunk\nbox.\" A n experiment investigated the hypothesis that\nproperty mapping occurs by structural alignment in\nwhich mental representations are aligned or put into\ncorrespondence. T h e result of this process is primarily\na set of matching elements (called commonalities) and\na set of mismatching elements related to the\ncommonalities (called alignable differences). The\nexperiment compared property mapping definitions to\nthe alignable differences listed by subjects in a\ncomparison task which is known to involved\nstructural alignment. Consistent with the hypothesis,\nthere was a strong correspondence between property\nmapping definitions and alignable differences\ncompared to another strategy in conceptual\ncombination not thought to involve structural\nalignment (slot filling).",
