定义影响隐喻处理的因素的具体作用是充分理解比喻语言理解的基本步骤，无论是在话语和对话中还是在阅读诗歌和小说中。这项研究通过提供从文学文本中提取的第一个隐喻数据集，并对主要心理语言学变量进行评分，同时考虑了语境的影响，扩展了当前可用的日常隐喻表达材料。一组单独呈现的 115 个意大利文学隐喻（实验 1）和嵌入其原始文本的 65 个文学隐喻子集（实验 2）在多个维度（单词和短语频率、可读性、完形填空概率、熟悉度、具体性、难度和意义）进行评级。总体而言，在这两个实验中，文学隐喻在所有维度上的得分都在中低值左右。对收集到的数据进行相关分析，结果表明，当文学隐喻单独呈现时，存在大量变量，主要是熟悉度、难度和意义。当文学隐喻在原始语境中呈现时，观察到较弱的集群，熟悉度不再与意义相关。语境操纵影响了熟悉度、具体性和难度评级，在语境中的评分低于在语境之外的评分，而意义则有所增加。在不同的维度上，文学语境似乎促进了一种全球性的解释活动，这种活动增强了隐喻的开放性，作为一种语义结构，不断地向作者意图和文本驱动的所有可能的解释开放。该数据集将有助于设计未来关于文学隐喻和语境在比喻意义中的作用的实验研究，结合生态有效性和语言的美学方面。
Defining the specific role of the factors that affect metaphor processing is a fundamental step for fully understanding figurative language comprehension, either in discourse and conversation or in reading poems and novels. This study extends the currently available materials on everyday metaphorical expressions by providing the first dataset of metaphors extracted from literary texts and scored for the major psycholinguistic variables, considering also the effect of context. A set of 115 Italian literary metaphors presented in isolation (Experiment 1) and a subset of 65 literary metaphors embedded in their original texts (Experiment 2) were rated on several dimensions (word and phrase frequency, readability, cloze probability, familiarity, concreteness, difficulty and meaningfulness). Overall, literary metaphors scored around medium-low values on all dimensions in both experiments. Collected data were subjected to correlation analysis, which showed the presence of a strong cluster of variables—mainly familiarity, difficulty, and meaningfulness—when literary metaphor were presented in isolation. A weaker cluster was observed when literary metaphors were presented in the original contexts, with familiarity no longer correlating with meaningfulness. Context manipulation influenced familiarity, concreteness and difficulty ratings, which were lower in context than out of context, while meaningfulness increased. Throughout the different dimensions, the literary context seems to promote a global interpretative activity that enhances the open-endedness of the metaphor as a semantic structure constantly open to all possible interpretations intended by the author and driven by the text. This dataset will be useful for the design of future experimental studies both on literary metaphor and on the role of context in figurative meaning, combining ecological validity and aesthetic aspects of language.
