Perceptual symbols theory proposes readers simulate discourses perceptually. Pronouns and context modulate the simulation's perspective between the protagonist's internal perspective and an external onlooker's perspective.

Experiment varied the pronoun, property modality, and image perspective. Modal-specific context did not interact with pronoun and image perspective to modulate simulation perspective as measured in task accuracy, F(2, 154) = 1.638, p = 0.198, but results still support perceptual symbol theory. Participants simulated narratives more richly if narrative was self-relevant.read less
