Abstract

Abstract We report the results of a cross-modal priming study investigating the processing of opaque compound words, when followed by figuratively and literally related primes, in L1 (Polish) and L2 (English). Additionally, the half-divided visual field paradigm was used to verify which cerebral hemisphere is responsible for semantic decomposition, and whether the language status will lead to different activation patterns. The left hemisphere is generally believed to process the more salient or conventional meanings of figurative expressions, and the right hemisphere their less salient or unconventional meanings. However, this assumption has not so far been verified for compounds. The results suggest that both the figurative and the literal meanings of opaque compounds were processed significantly faster by the left hemisphere in the case of L1 Polish. No statistically significant differences were obtained for L2 English. At the same time, English compounds were overall processed significantly faster than Polish compounds.

一级波兰语和二级英语中不透明化合物处理过程中的大脑不对称

摘要我们报道了一项跨模态启动研究的结果，该研究调查了L1（波兰语）和L2（英语）中不透明复合词的处理，当后面跟着比喻和字面相关的启动时。此外，使用半分割视野范式来验证哪个大脑半球负责语义分解，以及语言状态是否会导致不同的激活模式。左半球通常被认为处理比喻表达中更突出或传统的含义，而右半球处理不那么突出或非传统的含义。然而，到目前为止，这一假设还没有得到化合物的验证。结果表明，在L1波兰语的情况下，不透明化合物的比喻和字面含义都被左半球处理得明显更快。二语英语没有统计学上的显著差异。同时，英语化合物的总体处理速度明显快于波兰语化合物。
