On the formalization of Invariant Mappings for Metaphor Interpretation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we provide a formalization of a set of default rules that we claim are required for the transfer of information such as causation, event rate and duration in the interpretation of metaphor. Such rules are domain-independent and are identified as invariant adjuncts to any conceptual metaphor. We also show a way of embedding the invariant mappings in a semantic framework.

Discourse Relations and Default Inferences in Metaphor Interpretation
This paper focuses on the interpretation of metaphor in discourse. We build on previous work (Agerri, Barnden, Lee, & Wallington, 2007) to offer a formalization in a computationally-oriented formal semantic framework of a set of mappings that we claim are required for the interpretation of map-transcending metaphor. Such mappings are domain-independent and are identified as invariant adjuncts t...

متن کاملInvariant Mappings and Contexts in a Computational Approach to Metaphor Interpretation
We start by characterizing the role of a set of invariant mappings within a semantic framework for metaphor interpretation. Such rules are defaults and have previously been identified by our group as invariant mappings adjuncts to any conceptual metaphor. We provide a formal description of several invariant mappings that transfer information such as causation and event degrees, and discuss some...
متن کاملTranslation invariant mappings on KPC-hypergroups
In this paper, we give an extension of the Wendel's theorem on KPC-hypergroups. We also show that every translation invariant mapping is corresponding with a unique positive measure on the KPC-hypergroup.
