Normed Metaphor Stimuli
I normed 120 high- and low-familiarity metaphor sentences.
Each metaphor sentence is paired with a figurative and literal word target and a literal sentence (matched on word frequency and length). All metaphors and matched literal sentences are in "An X is/was a Y" format (e.g., The class is a sedative).
Three norming experiments were conducted to validate the stimuli:
-
Experiment 1: Collect familiarity ratings
-
Experiment 2: Generate literal and metaphoric target words
-
Experiment 3: Collect target word relatedness ratings
