Enriching WordNet Via Generative Metonymy and Creative Polysemy
Metonymy is a creative process that establishes relationships based on contiguity or semantic relatedness between concepts. We outline a mechanism for deriving new concepts from WordNet using metonymy. We argue that by exploiting polysemy in WordNet we can take advantage of the metonymic relations between concepts. The focus of our metonymy generation work has been the creation of nounnoun comp...
متن کاملCorpus-based Metonymy Analysis 1 Running head: Corpus-based Metonymy Analysis Corpus-based Metonymy Analysis
In this paper we make the case for corpus-based metonymy analysis and show that many interesting linguistic and statistical questions can only be answered by working with real texts. To facilitate such studies, we present a method for annotating metonymies in domain and genre-independent text. We advocate an annotation scheme that builds on regularities in metonymic usage, that takes underspeci...
متن کاملToward Improving the Automated Classification of Metonymy in Text Corpora
In this paper, we explore methods for improving the automatic classification of schematic metonymies in corpus-based text. Using a pre-existing dataset of thousands of samples, we formulate the hypothesis that a better modeling of the underlying syntactic, semantic and conceptual meanings within a document (sample) can aid automated metonymy classification. To test this hypothesis, we build upo...
متن کاملMetaphor and Metonymy
Metonymy, as often treated as a subtype of metaphor by cognitive linguistics, has a different working mechanism; metaphor is based on perceived similarity between things while metonymy on the relationship within things themselves. Cognition and the use of language involve the access and manipulation of mental spaces, which are constructed from human perceptual experience and are extended throug...

In the first half of the paper I critically review some previous attempts to deal with metonymy. I focus in particular on the classical approach, the associationist approach and the Gricean approach. The main point of my criti...
