This morning I presented my study on the processing differences between metaphors and similes! Thanks to all who raised hands and found me afterwards! Quote from @emma_krane : “Attending XPrag really felt like coming home!”🥰 #XPRAG2023#XPRAGX
Just presented my poster at #AMLaP2023, uncovering the processing differences between metaphors and similes! Have had exciting discussions with people who come around! Such an enriching experience – can’t wait to reunite with some of you soon at XPrag!
🎉📝 Thrilled to announce the publication of our paper on the processing of referential and predicative metaphor in Cognition, authored by Robyn Carston and myself! 🔎 Check out our paper now!
Metaphorical referring is significantly more costly in terms of processing effort relative to both literal referring and to metaphorical predication. We analyse why metaphorical referring is costly @ELSpsychology

#XPRAG2022 at @IussPavia would not have been the same without the participation of these beautiful people and their brilliant pragmatic minds. I'll tag as many people as I can find (and I promise this is my last tweet about the conference). See you in Paris for #XPRAG2023!
Great news for #XPRAG: Robyn Carston did an experiment! A refined comparison between referential and predicative metaphors (with well-balanced literal counterparts). It is not metaphor per se that costs, but the interaction between metaphoricity and structure #20yearsXPRAG
