Bilingual Processing Mechanisms of Scientific Metaphors and Conventional Metaphors: Evidence <i>via</i> a Contrastive Event-Related Potentials Study.

The difference between N400s elicited by English scientific metaphors and conventional metaphors was marginally significant at the left and middle parietal regions [P3: t (16) = −1.79, p = 0.091; Pz: t (16) = −1.90, p = 0.076], significant at the right frontal and central regions [F4: t (16) = −3.33, p = 0.004; C4: t (16) = −3.50, p = 0.003], and highly significant at the right parietal region [P4: t (16) = −3.65, p = 0.002].
