Abstract

Abstract We examine The Dictionary of American Regional English as a possible source for folk illusion data. Recognizing a known children’s folklore trick, ‘Jack and Jim’, as a folk illusion, we investigate the nature of the change blindness illusion featured in the form as we describe the benefits of our interdisciplinary triangulation methods for cognitive folkloristics. Ultimately, we argue that studies of decontextualized folklore texts (such as dictionary data) are bolstered by the implied contexts of shared embodied processes.

《美国地区英语词典》中的民间幻想:文本、语境和认知民俗学的三角测量方法

摘要:我们研究了《美国地区英语词典》作为民间错觉数据的可能来源。认识到一个已知的儿童民俗把戏，“杰克和吉姆”，作为一种民间错觉，我们研究了变化盲视错觉的本质，并描述了我们的跨学科三角测量方法对认知民俗学的好处。最后，我们认为，对非语境化民俗文本(如词典数据)的研究得到了共享具体化过程隐含语境的支持。

期刊介绍： A fully peer-reviewed international journal of folklore and folkloristics. Folklore is one of the earliest journals in the field of folkloristics, first published as The Folk-Lore Record in 1878. Folklore publishes ethnographical and analytical essays on vernacular culture worldwide, specializing in traditional narrative, language, music, song, dance, drama, foodways, medicine, arts and crafts, popular religion, and belief. It reviews current studies in a wide range of adjacent disciplines including anthropology, cultural studies, ethnology, history, literature, and religion. Folklore prides itself on its special mix of reviews, analysis, ethnography, and debate; its combination of European and North American approaches to the study of folklore; and its coverage not only of the materials and processes of folklore, but also of the history, methods, and theory of folkloristics. Folklore aims to be lively, informative and accessible, while maintaining high standards of scholarship.
