Аннотация:The article discusses the role of the age factor in the readers’ comprehension of stylistically heterogeneous texts, here the text fragments containing more and less salient figurative noun groups. The salience effects on eye movement and construal schemes are studied in the oculographic experiment where the secondary school children had to read the sentences displaying figurativeness. The earlier detected statistically significant corpus salience indices of referential, linguistic and discourse parameters in figurativeness construal get verified experimentally. In accordance with the Graded Salience and Defaultness hypotheses [Giora 1999; Jaszczolt 2005; Giora et al. 2015] I assumed that the interpretation of figurative noun groups of varied referential, linguistic and discourse salience will require different cognitive effort in terms of both eye movement reactions and default inferences. Multiple eye-tracking experiments with adult participants sufficed to prove the dependency [Kiose 2018], however, the results obtained with children did not support the Salience hypothesis in the part of visual perception. The eye movements of children facing figurative noun groups did not show steady correlation patterns with the salience effects of these groups, whereas the the default interpretations correlated strongly with referential, linguistic, and discourse salience.
