Abstract

ABSTRACT Two experiments examined meaning (re)activation of English idiomatic expressions by Spanish-dominant, English-dominant and balanced bilinguals. Participants listened to idiomatic expressions of the type I always 3*miss the boat1 * when it comes to jokes, and that2 * makes it nearly4 * impossible to attend comedy shows, and made lexical decisions to visually presented targets that were related literally (water), figuratively (fail) or unrelated to the critical idiomatic expression. In Experiment 1, we measured meaning activation immediately at idiom offset (probe 1*) and after an anaphoric referential description (e.g., that; probe 2*). Probe 2 was intended to further examine whether an anaphoric referential description was more likely to (re)activate its antecedent figurative interpretation that could be more pragmatically plausible than its literal representation. In Experiment 2, targets were presented at idiom onset and 300 ms after anaphor offset. Results revealed that idiom meaning (re)activation was modulated by language dominance, where English-dominant and balanced bilinguals had faster and more accurate responses than Spanish-dominant bilinguals.

(re)激活惯用语(La (re)activación de expressionones idiomáticas)
两个实验考察了西班牙语、英语和平衡双语者对英语习语表达的意义(再)激活。参与者听了“当涉及到笑话时,我总是会错过机会,这使得他们几乎不可能参加喜剧表演,并在词汇上做出决定,以直观地呈现与关键习语表达相关的目标(水),比喻(失败)或无关的目标。在实验1中,我们测量了在习语偏移(探针1*)和指代指代描述(例如,that;探针2 *)。调查2旨在进一步研究回指指称描述是否更有可能(重新)激活其先行词比喻解释,这可能比其字面表征更具有语用合理性。在实验2中,被试分别在习语开始时和指代偏移后300 ms被呈现。结果表明,习语意义(重)激活受语言优势调节,以英语为主导和平衡的双语者比以西班牙语为主导的双语者反应更快、更准确。
