AB - The relationship between comparative and simile constructions sharing an identical form has long been debated. Using eye-tracking technology, this study investigates native speakers' cognitive processing of these meanings as manifested in the construction “X gēn/xiàng Y yíyàng P”. The results revealed no significant differences between the two construction types, either in initial comprehension or later sentence integration. Furthermore, “gēn” demonstrated a higher degree of grammaticalization than “xiàng,” yet neither word exhibited internal differentiation based on the object it introduces. These findings suggest that comparison and simile constitute a continuum at the cognitive level, offering a cognitive foundation for informing pedagogical practices in Chinese language teaching.
