Abstract

What is the role of the right hemisphere in processing metaphors? One theory suggests that metaphor processing in the RH is part of amore general function of the RH, coarse semantic coding (Beeman,1998). The LH mediates semantic relationships between words havinghigh semantic feature overlap, whereas the RH activates a broadersemantic network of more distantly related words.
