Dynamic Semantics for Metaphor 1 Running head: Dynamic Semantics for Metaphor Dynamic Semantics for Metaphor
An intensional logic with dynamic interpretation is presented in order to provide a formal semantics for sense extension, lexical ambiguity and metaphoricity. Intensionality is required in order to provide the right account of polysemy and homonymy. The dynamics are required in order to allow the interpretation of a sentence to impact the interpretation of subsequent sentences by adding any ext...
متن کاملMetaphor and Lexical Semantics
This paper shows that several sorts of expressions cannot be interpreted metaphorically, including determiners, tenses, etc. Generally, functional categories cannot be interpreted metaphorically, while lexical categories can. This reveals a semantic property of functional categories, and it shows that metaphor can be used as a probe for investigating them. It also reveals an important linguisti...
متن کاملModelling metaphor with attribute-based semantics
One of the key problems in computational metaphor modelling is finding the optimal level of abstraction of semantic representations, such that these are able to capture and generalise metaphorical mechanisms. In this paper we present the first metaphor identification method that uses representations constructed from property norms. Such norms have been previously shown to provide a cognitively ...
متن کاملPreference Semantics, III-Formedness, and Metaphor
This paper is about the relationships between Preference Semantics (PS) and illformedness , and between Preference Semantics and metaphor. Two types of "preference", declarative and procedural, are distinguished. The PS framework is examined with respect to notions of welland il l-formedness, and two criteria for i l l -formedness are distinguished, both of which are possessed by PS: an absolut...
متن کاملA Conveying Semantics through Visual Metaphor
In the field of visual art, metaphor is a way to communicate meaning to the viewer. We present a computational system for communicating visual metaphor that can identify adjectives for describing an image based on a low-level visual feature representation of the image. We show that the system can use this visual-linguistic association to render source images that convey the meaning of adjective...
