A predominant view contends that we must first derive the literal meaning of such statements. Second, we test this meaning against the context. Third, ifthe literal meaning fails to make sense, only then do we seek an alternative, nonliteral meaning. This serial, three-stage model implies that people can and do ignore the nonliteral meanings of sentences whenever the literal meanings are plausible in context. To test this view we asked subjects to make rapid decisions about the literal truth of sentences such as Some jobs are jails. Subjects correctly judged that such sentences are literally false, but the availability of a' 'true" metaphorical interpretation-for example, that some people are trapped in their occupations-interfered. When metaphoric interpretations of literally false sentences were available, subjects took significantly longer to decide that such sentences were false. This suggests that people do not have the option to ignore the nonliteral meanings of sentences. Instead, people seem to process both the nonliteral and literal meanings of sentences in the same ways, and at the same time. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
