This study examined the role of metaphor in structuring concepts and thought processes. Specifically, it was hypothesized that many abstract domains are conceptualized through metaphor-based schemas that map knowledge of one domain onto another. Six experiments were conducted to examine the role of metaphor-based schemas in text comprehension and representation. Schemas were shown to facilitate recognition judgments for schema-related material that had been presented in a text. In Experiments 1 and 2, schema-related sentences from texts were recognized faster when a priming sentence had reinstantiated the metaphor-based schema just before the test sentence was presented for recognition, compared to when a non-schema-related sentence from the same passage had preceded the test sentence. In Experiment 3, recognition latencies were unaffected by whether a schema-instantiating sentence or its literal paraphrase was used as a prime. In Experiment 4, test sentences preceded by a schema-instantiating priming sentence were recognized faster when the test sentence had been presented in the text as an instantiation of the schema than when the same test sentence had been presented in a context in which it was not interpretable as a schema-instantiation. Experiment 5 demonstrated facilitated recognition for schema-related test words following a second instantiation of the schema in the passage. Experiment 6 provided evidence that the recognition priming in Experiment 5 did not result from simple semantic priming between single words. The results are interpreted as evidence for the existence of schema-like representational structures corresponding to conceptual metaphors, and for the use of metaphor-based schemas to link schema-related elements within a text representation. The results are also discussed in the context of previous research on the role of metaphor for structuring both language and thought.Subjects--Topical Terms:
