Metaphor comprehension : What makes a metaphor difficult to understand ?
Comprehension difficulty was rated for metaphors of the form Noun1-is-aNoun2; in addition, participants completed frames of the form Noun1-is-________ with their literal interpretation of the metaphor. Metaphor comprehension was simulated with a computational model based on Latent Semantic Analysis. The model matched participants’ interpretations for both easy and difficult metaphors. When inte...
متن کاملMetaphor comprehension: a computational theory.
Metaphor comprehension involves an interaction between the meaning of the topic and the vehicle terms of the metaphor. Meaning is represented by vectors in a high-dimensional semantic space. Predication modifies the topic vector by merging it with selected features of the vehicle vector. The resulting metaphor vector can be evaluated by comparing it with known landmarks in the semantic space. T...
متن کاملMetaphor and Memory Symbolic and Connectionist Issues in Metaphor Comprehension
If metaphor is to be viewed as a fundamental cognitive agency, as recent work suggests, what ramifications does this view have for a model of semantic memory? This paper argues that if various signature phenomena of metaphor are to be given adequate computational treatment, a parallel adaptive (learning) network model of memory is required. Such a model, the Sapper framework, is described; Sapp...

متن کاملMetaphor Comprehension : From Comparison to Categorization
In this paper, we explore the relationship between metaphor and polysemy . We begin by discussing how novel metaphoric mappings can create new word meanings in the form of domain-general representations. Turning next to consider the implications of this view for the on-line comprehension of figurative language, we suggest that there is a shift from comparison processing to categorization proces...
