Abstract
- Highlights: [•] Direct object roles of Chinese chi ‘eat’: Patients and non-Patients. [•] Non-Patients metonymically trigger ‘food’ as conceptual head. [•] Metonymically interpreted non-Patients: stronger N400 effects than Patients. [•] N400 decreases along cline: Instrument>Locative>Source>Means>Patient. [•] Experiment and conceptual analysis support Dowty’s notion of Proto-Patient. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
