Research of Processing Mechanism of Idioms Based on Picture-Word Priming Paradigm

Abstract

Abstract:

Idiom is one of the fixed expressions with both theoretical and practical meanings. With paradigm, this paper explores if
there are different process mechanisms in early stage and in later stage respectively with two experiments during idiom processing.
Meanwhile, what we are further interested in is the effect of Picture-Word Priming Paradigm on processing idioms in various priming
conditions. The first experiment showed that morpheme was activated during early stage; while the second experiment revealed that
both morpheme and word were activated during later stage, which support the hybrid model. The study shows that morpheme plays an
important role in processing idioms.

Key words: idioms, comprehension, Picture-Word Priming Paradigm, SOA
