Meeting Description: 

Join us at the XPRAG Wine Gatherings with a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon and
learn about the processing of metonymy. Petra Schumacher will give a talk
entitled ''The Cabernet Sauvignon talks a lot: Real-time processing of
metonymy''. We cordially invite everyone!

Abstract:
Research from language comprehension suggests that metonymy is not a uniform
phenomenon: certain metonymically used expressions exert processing costs
(e.g., The Cabernet Sauvignon talks a lot), while others do not (e.g., The
student read Shakespeare). In this talk, I will present data from eye tracking
and event-related brain potential studies and I will argue that the different
processing patterns are linked to differences in the representation and
inferential demands underlying different types of metonymic uses. Meaning
evolution and routinization may be the key to explaining the processing
differences, where the emergence of cognitive routines facilitates processing
in some cases, while other metonymic cases rely more strongly on inferences
and the construction of ad hoc meanings.
