Detecting Metaphor by Contextual Analogy

چکیده
As one of the most challenging issues in NLP, metaphor identification and its interpretation have seen many models and methods proposed. This paper presents a study on metaphor identification based on the semantic similarity between literal and non literal meanings of words that can appear at the same context.

Metaphor and Information Flow
This paper develops a formal model for metaphor and analogy built on information flow theory, formal concept analysis and conceptual graphs. Metaphor and analogy are important principles of human cognition based on representational maps. The model suggested in this paper defines metaphoric use in terms of information transfer via an information channel with respect to contextual constraints.

Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT, Lakoff & Johnson 1980; Lakoff, 1983, 1987, 1993, 2008, 2009), the most prominent cognitive approach to metaphor comprehension, argues that the nature of interconnections within the conceptual system is inherently metaphoric-analogical and that systematic patterns in linguistic metaphor reveal these cognitive interconnections. Relevance Theory (RT, Sperber & Wils...
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 کاملMetaphor Detection in Discourse
Understanding contextual information is key to detecting metaphors in discourse. Most current work aims at detecting metaphors given a single sentence, thus focusing mostly on local contextual cues within a short text. In this paper, we present a novel approach that explicitly leverages global context of a discourse to detect metaphors. In addition, we show that syntactic information such as de...
