摘要本文探讨了语言语境在调节个体流动智力和结晶智力差异对文学隐喻理解的影响中的作用。三个条件进行了比较：没有上下文，隐喻一致的上下文，和字面一致的上下文。相对于基线无语境条件，隐喻一致性语境促进隐喻意义的理解，而文字一致性语境则削弱隐喻意义的理解。流动智力和结晶智力对隐喻理解的预测作用是独立的。隐喻一致的语境选择性地增加了言语智力的贡献。这些发现支持了一个假设，即支持性的语言环境鼓励使用语义整合在解释隐喻。
ABSTRACT We report a study examining the role of linguistic context in modulating the influences of individual differences in fluid and crystalized intelligence on comprehension of literary metaphors. Three conditions were compared: no context, metaphor-congruent context, and literal-congruent context. Relative to the baseline no-context condition, the metaphor-congruent context facilitated comprehension of the metaphorical meaning whereas the literal-congruent context impaired it. Measures of fluid and crystalized intelligence both made separable contributions to predicting metaphor comprehension. The metaphor-congruent context selectively increased the contribution of crystalized verbal intelligence. These findings support the hypothesis that a supportive linguistic context encourages use of semantic integration in interpreting metaphors.
