Bilingual Figurative Language Processing

Abstract

This chapter explores the various methodological tasks employed in the study of bilingual figurative language processing. In the first part of the chapter, we discuss classic behavioral reading paradigms such as rapid serial visual presentation, visual and auditory moving windows, and the newly developed reading integration maze task, as well as eye tracking. The second section focuses on the cross-modal lexical priming task (Swinney, 1979). Finally, we provide an overview on what event-related potentials (ERPs) can tell us about how bilinguals process figurative language. Advantages and disadvantages of these experimental techniques, as well as the implications of task demands for bilingual figurative language processing, are also discussed.
