The Fourth Symposium on Natural Language Processing 2000 METONYMY INTERPRETATION USING X NO Y EXAMPLES

چکیده
We developed on example-based method of metonymy interpretation. One advantages of this method is that a hand-built database of metonymy is not necessary because it instead uses examples in the form \Noun X no Noun Y (Noun Y of Noun X)." Another advantage is that we will be able to interpret newly-coined metonymic sentences by using a new corpus. We experimented with metonymy interpretation and obtained a precision rate of 66% when using this method.

متن کاملA Statistical Approach to the Processing of Metonymy
This paper describes a statistical approach to tile interpretat ion of metonymy. A metonymy is received as an input, then its possible interp retations are ranked by al)t)lying ~ statistical measure. The method has been tested experimentally. It; correctly interpreted 53 out of 75 metonymies in Jat)anese. 1 I n t r o d u c t i o n Metonymy is a figure of st)eech in which tile name of one thing ...
متن کاملNominal Metonymy Processing
We argue for the necessity of resolution of metonymies for nominals (and other cases) in the context of semantics-based machine translation. By using an ontology as a search space, we are able to identify and resolve metonymic expressions with significant accuracy, both for a pre-deterrnined inventory of metonymie types and for previously unseen cases. The entity replaced by the metonymy is mad...
متن کاملmet*: A Method For Discriminating Metonymy And Metaphor By Computer
The met* method distinguishes selected examples of metonymy from metaphor and from literalness and anomaly in short English sentences. In the met* method, literalness is distinguished because it satisfies contextual constraints that the nonliteral others all violate. Metonymy is discriminated from metaphor and anomaly in a way that [1] supports Lakoff and Johnson's (1980) view that in metonymy ...
متن کاملSense-based Interpretation of Logical Metonymy Using a Statistical Method
The use of figurative language is ubiquitous in natural language texts and it is a serious bottleneck in automatic text understanding. We address the problem of interpretation of logical metonymy, using a statistical method. Our approach originates from that of Lapata and Lascarides (2003), which generates a list of nondisambiguated interpretations with their likelihood derived from a corpus. W...
