两组大学生（40岁和56岁）给出了他们认为的30种不同成语表达的字面和比喻解释，并对他们的解释的使用频率和熟悉程度进行了评分。评分采用7分制，其中1=从不，7=非常频繁。受试者给予更高的评级，比喻的解释比字面解释和更高的评级的频率比熟悉。然而，频率和熟悉程度的评级之间存在高度相关性。研究还发现，比喻评级是独立的文字评级。在主要的，比喻的评级被发现是高（5-7），无论他们的文字评级。然而，一小部分习语在这两个量表上的评分都相对较低。习语之间的差异可能有助于解释最近关于习语加工的实验研究中出现的某些差异。
Two groups of college students (40 and 56) gave what they felt to be the literal and figurative interpretation of 30 different idiomatic expressions and rated their interpretations for frequency of use and for familiarity. Ratings were done on 7-point scales where 1=never and 7=very often. Subjects gave higher ratings to figurative interpretations than to literal interpretations and higher ratings of frequency than familiarity. Nevertheless, there was a high correlation between ratings of frequency and familiarity. It was also found that figurative ratings were independent of literal ratings. In the main, figurative ratings were found to be high (5–7) irrespective of their literal ratings. A small subgroup of idioms, however, had relatively low ratings on both scales. The differences noted between idioms may help to account for certain discrepancies that have appeared in recent experimental studies on idiom processing.
