An experimental and theoretical study on psychological mechanism of metaphor understanding and metaphor generation

基于对大规模语言数据的统计分析，构建了以“A like B”为形式的隐喻理解和生成的理论（计算）模型。通过模型仿真结果与心理实验结果的对比，验证了模型的有效性。通过这些步骤，从理论上和实验上阐明了隐喻理解和隐喻生成的心理机制。

Theoretical (computational) models concerning comprehension and generation of metaphors, in form of "A like B", were constructed based on statistical analysis of large-scale language data. Furthermore, the validity of the models was verified by comparing between simulation results of the models and psychological experiment results. Through these procedures, the psychological mechanism of metaphor comprehension and metaphor generation was elucidated theoretically and experimentally.
