| Research Abstract |
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.
