• Metaphors and semantic properties (.csv file)

The metaphors (topics and vehicles) and semantic properties are taken from Roncero and de Almeida's (2015) set of norms. The file is arranged with the the first and second columns containing the topics and vehicles, respectively, and the third column containing the semantic properties, each separated by a space. The original set from Roncero and de Almeida had 84 items, but the current file only has 80 items, as the remaining 4 contained terms that are not in the LSA semantic space used in our study. The semantic properties served as semantic landmarks.

• Metaphors and scrambled semantic properties (.csv file)

The scrambled file was used for control simulations (irrelevant landmarks).
