摘要：This study conducted an eye-tracking experiment on processing different patterns of Chinese familiar metonymy in sentential *** analyzes five eye-tracking measures concerning the processing of *** results indicate that different patterns of metonymy experience different processing processes under a sentential-context condition,and results in prototype *** main finding is that Spatial Part&Whole metonymy is more prototypical than other three patterns of metonymy,i.e.,Container and Contained,Location and Located,Entity and Adjacent Entity,and that the effect of metonymy pattern on the processing is stable and *** concludes that contextual information facilitates the processing of non-prototypical metonymy,but restrain the processing of prototypical metonymy.
