Abstract

Current views of conceptual combination postulate that interpretations can be classified into two types; thematic-relation and property-mapping interpretations. In this study, a new model on the processing of noun-noun conceptual combination was proposed and two experiments were conducted to verify it. The model suggests that thematic-relation interpretation can be facilitated when there are any salient external properties in the head and the modifier is relevant to one of them. On the other hand, property-mapping interpretation can be facilitated when there are any salient internal properties in the modifier and the head has any relevant slot (dimension) to one of them. Two experiments examined whether external/internal properties in the heads/modifiers and relevance between modifier and head can facilitate property or relation interpretation by measuring interpretation times and degrees of interpretation consistency. The results showed that the interpretation time is faster and the interpretation consistency is higher when there are internal or external properties and their relevant slots as well. These results further suggest that the different roles of constituent concepts selectively affect the relevance between properties which consist of modifier and head. With regard to these results, it was discussed whether property-mapping interpretation and thematic-relation interpretation are caused by independent processes.
