Decoding Brain Activity Associated with Literal and Metaphoric Sentence Comprehension Using Distributional Semantic Models (2020.tacl-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing research has focused on applying semantic models to decode brain activity associated with the meaning of individual words. |
| Approach: | They evaluate a range of semantic models to capture metaphor processing in the brain . they found that compositional models and word embeddings capture differences in the processing of literal and metaphoric sentences . |
| Outcome: | The proposed models capture differences in the processing of literal and metaphoric sentences, providing support for the idea that the literal meaning is not fully accessible during familiar metaphor comprehension. |
