File S1 - A Dataset of Metaphors from the Italian Literature: Exploring Psycholinguistic Variables and the Role of Context

Dataset of literary metaphors from the Italian literature. Table S1, Dataset and descriptive statistics of the literary metaphors assessed in Experiment 1 (out of context presentation) and Experiment 2 (in context presentation). The columns report the following information: metaphorical expression; English word-by-word translation; source; author; descriptive statistics for Experiment 1 and for experiment 2. For Experiment 1, the following scores are reported: FREQ1_value = Frequency of the first content word; FREQ1_log = Log-transformed frequency of the first content word; FREQ2_value = Frequency of the second content word; FREQ2_log = Log-transformed frequency of the second content word; GOO_FREQ_log = Log-transformed Google-generated frequency counts; CLPR_OUT = Cloze probability (out of context); FAM_OUT(M) = Familiarity Mean (out of context); FAM_OUT (SD) = Familiarity Standard Deviation (out of context); FAM_OUT(Mdn) = Familiarity Median (out of context); CONC_OUT(M) = Concreteness Mean (out of context); CONC_OUT(SD) = Concreteness Standard Deviation (out of context); CONC_OUT(Mdn) = Concreteness Median (out of context); DIFF_OUT(M) = Difficulty Mean (out of context); DIFF_OUT(SD) = Difficulty Standard Deviation (out of context); DIFF_OUT(Mdn) = Difficulty Median (out of context); MEA_OUT(M) = Meaningfulness Mean (out of context); MEA_OUT(SD) = Meaningfulness Standard Deviation (out of context); MEA_OUT(Mdn) = Meaningfulness Median (out of context). For Experiment 2, the following scores are reported: GULPE = Gulpease readability index; CLPR_IN = Cloze probability (in context); FAM_IN(M) = Familiarity Mean (in context); FAM_IN(SD) = Familiarity Standard Deviation (in context); FAM_IN (Mdn) = Familiar Median (in context); CONC_IN(M) = Concreteness Mean (in context); CONC_IN(SD) = Concreteness Standard Deviation (in context); CONC_IN(Mdn) = Concreteness Median (in context); DIFF_IN(M) = Difficulty Mean (in context); DIFF_IN(SD) = Difficulty Standard Deviation (in context); DIFF_IN(Mdn) = Difficulty Median (in context); MEA_IN(M) = Meaningfulness Mean (in context); MEA_IN(SD) = Meaningfulness Standard Deviation (in context); MEA_IN(Mdn) Meaningfulness Median (in context). Empty cells refer to items not included in Experiment 2. Table S2, Dataset of the literary metaphors used in Experiment 2, including introductory sentence, context, source and author. (XLSX)
