Ambiguity Resolution in Passivized Idioms: Is There a Shift in the Most Likely Interpretation? (2022)
Journal Article

Ambiguous but canonical idioms (kick the bucket) are processed fast in both their figurative (“die”) and literal (“boot the pail”) senses, although processing costs associated with meaning integration may emerge in postidiom regions. Modified version... Read More about Ambiguity Resolution in Passivized Idioms: Is There a Shift in the Most Likely Interpretation?.
