In this talk, I will present the results of three main studies that compose my PhD dissertation, entitled “Bridging From Multi-dimensionality of Idioms to Their Embodiment”. Idioms, such as walk on sunshine or raise the devil are multi-word expressions possessing an interpretation that is typically unrelated to the meaning of their constituents. In my dissertation, I investigated the processing of such expressions from two angles. Using the Event- Related Potentials (ERP) technique, I examined the underlying processes involved during the comprehension of idioms possessing a range of lexical characteristics. I also studied idioms from an embodied account of language processing, wherein emotion and sensory-motor factors are considered to be vital for the processing of figurative language. Besides presenting my findings, I will tell the story behind my dissertation. Previous studies (conducted by other scholars and I) that have been influential in shaping this dissertation will also be discussed briefly.
