An ERP study of metaphor comprehension (Lai, Curran, & Menn 2009) Comprehending conventional and novel metaphors: Lexical semantics affects comprehension effort when structure is held constant. Sense/nonsense judgment task, comparing listeners\u2019 ERPs for these four semantic groups: Literal: Every soldier in the frontline was attacked. Conventional: Every point in my argument was attacked. Novel: Every second of our time was attacked. Anomalous: Every drop of rain was attacked. (assignment of sentences to groups checked by na\u00efve subject ratings) Using a sensicality judgment task, we compared ERPs elicited by the same target word when it was used to end literal, conventional metaphorical, novel metaphorical and anomalous sentences.
