摘要

摘要隐喻研究表明，个体在刺激的垂直度、亮度、距离和效价之间形成关联。在概念隐喻理论文献的基础上，音价假说预测了口语词的音高与其价之间的关联。在一项研究中，研究人员记录了参与者在识别高音调和低音调的积极和消极词汇时的准确性和反应延迟，以观察音调是否会影响他们在选择具有系统变化的语义效价的词汇时的准确性和速度。结果通过揭示表现的系统性差异来支持音高价假说。观察到的效果主要是由于参与者在以高音调呈现单词时的准确性。

The Influence of Speaker Pitch on Inferring Semantic Valence

ABSTRACT Research on metaphors has shown that individuals form associations between the verticality, brightness, and distance of stimuli and their valence. Building on the literature on conceptual metaphor theory, the pitch–valence hypothesis predicts an association between the pitch of spoken words and their valence. A study was conducted recording participants’ accuracy and response latencies in identifying positive and negative words that were spoken in high and low pitches to see whether pitch affects the accuracy and speed when choosing words that systematically vary in their semantic valence. The results supported the pitch–valence hypothesis by revealing systematic differences in performance. The observed effects were mainly due to participants’ accuracies when words were presented in a high pitch.

期刊介绍： Metaphor and Symbol: A Quarterly Journal is an innovative, multidisciplinary journal dedicated to the study of metaphor and other figurative devices in language (e.g., metonymy, irony) and other expressive forms (e.g., gesture and bodily actions, artworks, music, multimodal media). The journal is interested in original, empirical, and theoretical research that incorporates psychological experimental studies, linguistic and corpus linguistic studies, cross-cultural/linguistic comparisons, computational modeling, philosophical analyzes, and literary/artistic interpretations. A common theme connecting published work in the journal is the examination of the interface of figurative language and expression with cognitive, bodily, and cultural experience; hence, the journal''s international editorial board is composed of scholars and experts in the fields of psychology, linguistics, philosophy, computer science, literature, and media studies.
