The present study examines the relationship between pictorial similes and
hybrid pictorial metaphors. The results suggest that hybrid pictorial metaphors are perceived more strongly than pictorial similes when they are presented on their own and in corrective convention but not when they
are verbalized. We argue that hybrid pictorial metaphors have transformational effects as the fusion of two concepts allow the reader to see one thing in terms of another. Juxtaposition in a pictorial simile merely suggests a search for similarity, which is not explicit. Results also showed that verbalized metaphor (X is Y) or the simile (X is like Y) forms are often
used to convey a similar meaning and strength for pictorial simile and
pictorial metaphor. However, in corrective scenarios participants are forced
to reassess visual features: in this situation, pictorial metaphors are considered more strongly than pictorial similes even when they are verbalized.
