非直义语言的脑加工机制:ERP研究的某些发现

Brain Processing of Nonliteral Language:ERP Researches

非直义语言与直义语言在大脑中贮存和加工可能是不同的。以事件相关电位研究为线索,回顾了包括成语、比喻、诗词等不同语言形式的研究成果,大部分结果揭示,非直义语言加工可能是以右半球为优势的自动化加工。但是关于非直义语言的研究范式、自动化加工的发展过程及社会文化、情感因素对它的影响仍然是需要探讨的重要问题。

The nonliteral language and the literal language may be stored and processed differently in the brain. This review examines studies on idiom, metaphor and prosody processing by event-relatod brain potentials （ERPs）. Many kinds of nonliteral languages, may be automatic speech modulated by the right hemisphere. What are to be further examined is the research paradigm of nonliteral language, the development of automatic speech and the social and emotional interaction.
