Direct linkMcGlone, Matthew S. – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2011
To its credit, conceptual metaphor theory (CMT) has drawn significant attention to the question of what figurative language can tell us about human concepts. However, the answers CMT theorists have offered are typically unsubstantiated by the empirical evidence, and occasionally unfalsifiable. This reply to Raymond W. Gibbs Jr.'s positive…

Steen, Gerard – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2011
An evaluation of conceptual metaphor theory (CMT) offered by Raymond W. Gibbs, Jr. in this issue suggests a number of important opportunities for future research that may be based on interesting research findings produced over the past 3 decades in response to CMT. This reply to Gibbs argues that the main question for discourse processing remains…

Juvina, Ion; van Oostendorp, Herre – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2008
Research on cognitive modeling of information search and Web navigation emphasizes the importance of "information scent" (the relevance of semantic cues such as link labels and headings to a reader's goal; Pirolli & Card, 1999). This article shows that not only semantic but also structural knowledge is involved in navigating the Web (Juvina,…

Bateman, John; Tenbrink, Thora; Farrar, Scott – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2007
This article argues that a clear division between two sources of information--one oriented to world knowledge, the other to linguistic semantics--offers a framework within which mechanisms for modelling the highly flexible relation between language and interpretation necessary for natural discourse can be specified and empirically validated.…

Sanjose, Vicente; Vidal-Abarca, Eduardo; Padilla, Olga M. – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2006
This article proposes an extension to Kintsch's Construction-Integration (CI) model of text comprehension, which changes its mathematical implementation and emphasizes the connectionist features of the model. Specifically, the extension proposed here (a) simulates the learning process in a connectionist manner by making explicit changes in the…

Pickering, Martin J.; McElree, Brian; Frisson, Steven; Chen, Lillian; Traxler, Matthew J. – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2006
In principle, comprehenders might always make immediate commitments to the interpretation of expressions (full commitment) or wait until such decisions are necessary (minimal commitment; Frazier & Rayner, 1990). One interesting case involves decisions about telicity: whether expressions refer to events that are determinate versus indeterminate…
