Figurative language processing in atypical populations: the ASD perspective
This paper is intended to provide a critical overview of experimental and clinical research documenting problems in figurative language processing in atypical populations with a focus on the Autistic Spectrum. Research in the comprehension and processing of figurative language in autism invariably documents problems in this area. The greater paradox is that even at the higher end of the spectru...
متن کاملDetecting and Processing Figurative Language in Discourse
Figurative language poses a serious challenge to NLP systems. The use of idiomatic and metaphoric expressions is not only extremely widespread in natural language; many figurative expressions, in particular idioms, also behave idiosyncratically.

In sum, polysemy can be significant evidence which shows that experientialist epistemology really works in language users’ mind. In other words, the developing w...
متن کاملIsn't It Ironic? An Electrophysiological Exploration of Figurative Language Processing
Although the neurocognitive processes underlying the comprehension of figurative language, especially metaphors and idioms, have been studied extensively, less is known about the processing of irony. In two experiments using event-related brain potentials (ERPs), we examined the types of cognitive processes involved in the comprehension of ironic and literal sentences and their relative time co...
