From visual perception to comprehension: Variations in construal and gaze behavior

The study explores the construal shifts from VISUAL PERCEPTION to COMPREHENSION image schemas (Grady, 2005) which readers may face when they deal with contexts employing verb of visual perception видеть ( see ) in Russian language. aim is find out how different schema types affect readers’ gaze behavior and default interpretation. It develops a two-stage procedure involves corpus-based semantic analysis followed by oculographic experiment participants’ reports. search annotation help define range linguistic attractors (Gibbs, 2006) contingent on comprehension latter exhibiting more abstract character 2005). To proceed, we appeal morphological, lexical, syntactic verbs semantics outlined (Kustova, 2004; Baicchi & Digonne, 2018; Béligon et al., 2019) apply them for further samples contingency analysis. typical involve perfective, pre-position, direct object post-position, negation marker, animated post-position; whereas are scarce restricted attributes evaluation pre-position several adverb types. tests effects perceptual priming entrenchment did not reveal significant type interpretation, however terms was demanding.
