Bilingual Figurative Language Processing is a timely book that
provides a much-needed bilingual perspective to the broad field of
figurative language. This is the first book of its kind to address
how bilinguals acquire, store, and process figurative language,
such as idiomatic expressions (such as kick the bucket), metaphors
(such as lawyers are sharks), and irony, and how these tropes might
interact in real time across the bilingual's two languages. This
volume offers the reader and the bilingual student an overview of
the major strands of research, both theoretical and empirical,
currently being undertaken in this field of inquiry. At the same
time, Bilingual Figurative Language Processing provides readers and
undergraduate and graduate students with the opportunity to acquire
hands-on experience in the development of psycholinguistic
experiments in bilingual figurative language. Each chapter includes
a section on suggested student research projects. Selected chapters
provide detailed procedures on how to design and develop
psycholinguistic experiments.
