Abstract

Abstract: Chinese two-part allegorical sayings convey figurative meanings by activating either homophonic or conceptual associations. Homophonic associations are realized based on a conceptual connection between the two homophonic expressions: the second part of the saying and the expression of the idiomatic meaning. We intended to investigate the processing of Chinese two-part allegorical saying, considering the aspects of the homophonic association and various lengths of time intervals. The experiment adopted a 2×2 within-subjects design with two factors, that is, homophonic association (yes/no) and length of time interval (500 ms/2500 ms). The present study demonstrated empirically that the processing of homophonic Chinese two-part allegorical sayings involves three periods: the early period of paying attention and recognizing semantic relatedness; the later period of identifying the semantic differences between first and second parts; the final period of mapping from the first part to the second part through homophonic association to arrive the figurative meaning.

Key words: homophonic Chinese two-part allegorical sayings, homophonic association, ISI, ERPs

摘要： 运用ERPs技术考察谐音线索和前、后语节呈现时间间隔（ISI）对谐音型歇后语理解的影响。行为实验结果表明谐音线索影响语料的通达过程。在短ISI条件下，谐音线索同时作用于反应时和错误率，易化对歇后语的加工；在长ISI条件下，谐音线索仅提高正确率。ERPs结果表明，长ISI诱发更大波幅的N170成分和P200成分，不出现谐音线索将诱发更大波幅的P300成分，同时，短ISI诱发更大波幅的N400成分。实验结果推测，谐音型歇后语的理解分为三个阶段：（１）早期注意、语义识别和初级整合过程；（２）谐音线索加工过程；（３）通过语义映射中介，消除差异，获得同一性的过程。
