Baramee Kheovichai – LEARN Journal: Language Education and Acquisition Research Network, 2025
Research has shown that food metaphors play an important role in humans' conceptualization of various domains of experience. However, insufficient attention has been paid to the phraseology of food metaphors. This research aims to investigate food metaphors and their phraseology. Particularly, this paper focuses on the lemmas "consume"…

Huili Wang; Shurong Zhang; Xueyan Li; Beixian Gu – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2024
Embodied cognition holds that one's body, actions, perceptions, and situations are integrated into the cognitive process and emphasizes the fact that sensorimotor systems play a role in language comprehension. Previous studies verified the embodied effect in literal language processing but few of them paid attention to metaphors in embodied…

Natalya Milovanova; Magripa Yeskeyeva – Eurasian Journal of Applied Linguistics, 2024
The phraseology of precipitation as a weather phenomenon occupies an important part in the Kazakh and Kyrgyz languages. Each phraseological fund encompasses rich imagery and specific cognitive characteristics. The objectives of this research were to discover the cognitive characteristics of rain, snow and hail based on their participation in…

Chuanli Zang; Ying Fu; Hong Du; Xuejun Bai; Guoli Yan; Simon P. Liversedge – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2024
Arguably, the most contentious debate in the field of eye movement control in reading has centered on whether words are lexically processed serially or in parallel during reading. Chinese is character-based and unspaced, meaning the issue of how lexical processing is operationalized across potentially ambiguous, multicharacter strings is not…

King, Daniel; Gentner, Dedre – Cognitive Science, 2022
This paper explores the processes underlying verb metaphoric extension. Work on metaphor processing has largely focused on noun metaphor, despite evidence that verb metaphor is more common. Across three experiments, we collected paraphrases of simple intransitive sentences varying in semantic strain--for example, "The motor complained"…

Hassan Saleh Mahdi; Yousef Sahari – International Journal of Information and Learning Technology, 2024
Purpose: Audio-visual translation (AVT) is recognized as the most vibrant type of translation. While AVT plays a vital function in the field of translation, its significance within cultural studies hasn't been thoroughly investigated. This research aims to uncover the predominant techniques employed in translating idiomatic expressions found in…

Jolsvai, Hajnal; McCauley, Stewart M.; Christiansen, Morten H. – Cognitive Science, 2020
Whereas a growing bulk of work has demonstrated that both adults and children are sensitive to frequently occurring word sequences, little is known about the potential role of meaning in the processing of such multiword chunks. Here, we take a first step toward assessing the contribution of meaningfulness in the processing of multiword sequences,…

Göbel, Alexander; Frazier, Lyn; Clifton, Charles, Jr. – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2021
Recent studies of appositives have turned up differences between sentence-medial appositives and sentence-final appositives, for instance, in their availability for discourse continuations. Three experiments investigated whether medial appositives are more difficult to comprehend than final appositives and if so why. Experiment 1 tested…

Hur Mustafa Yucedal; Saban Kara – Problems of Education in the 21st Century, 2023
Formulaic sequences, particularly idioms and collocations, have received increasing attention in English language learning settings to bridge the gap between daily and academic life. Thus, it is expected to increase students' motivation in English classes when they see reflections of formulaic sequences in their daily lives. Although the number of…

Intertextuality, defined as the presence of one text within another, is a powerful tool in shaping media narratives and engaging audiences. This study explores intertextuality in Kazakh, Russian, and English-language media, examining how precedent expressions like quotes, allusions, proverbs, and aphorisms sued as media texts interact across…

Yiding Zhao – Iranian Journal of Language Teaching Research, 2024
Idioms are highly conventionalized expressions that allow users to express beyond literal meanings. Despite the language difference, counterparts of idioms may overlap cross-culturally due to similar origin, social habits, and experiences. It is therefore interesting to probe whether L2 learners may benefit from deliberate instructions built on…

Metani, Idriz; Dano, Sidita – Journal of Language and Linguistic Studies, 2021
Lexical meaning, as an important and essential aspect of the word, has long attracted the attention of scholars, who, in trying to know its nature, have sometimes mystified it by seeing it as an inexplicable thing and sometimes simplified it, equating it with the function of the word, with the concept, even with the "reali" itself that…

Siyanova-Chanturia, Anna; Spina, Stefania – Language Learning, 2020
In the present study, we sought to advance the field of learner corpus research by tracking the development of phrasal vocabulary in essays produced at two different points in time. To this aim, we employed a large pool of second language (L2) learners (N = 175) from three proficiency levels--beginner, elementary, and intermediate--and focused on…
