This paper describes a system that makes use of a repository of formalized frames and metaphors to automatically detect, categorize, and analyze expressions of metaphor in corpora. The output of this system can be used as a basis for making further refinements to the system, as well as supporting deep semantic analysis of metaphor expressions in corpora. This in turn provides a way to ground an...

in this study, an artificial neural network was developed in order to analyze flexible pavement structure anddetermine its critical responses under the influence of standard axle loading. in doing so, more than 10000four-layered flexible pavement sections composed of asphalt concrete layer, base layer, subbase layer, andsubgrade soil were analyzed under the impact of standard axle loading. pave...

In this paper, we provide the groundwork for an analysis of metaphor from the point of view of cognitive linguistics. This study attempts to show an interpretation of metaphor which is different from a mere comparison or substitution function and is by no means a deviant or marginal process. We refer to metaphor not only as a matter of language but also as one of thought, that is, in the way we...

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.

The history of psychiatry is often portrayed through the metaphor of a pendulum, the profession swinging back and forth between a concern with psyche and soma. Recent work critiquing the pendulum metaphor, however, suggests that it does not account for the complexity of psychiatry. This article explores the metaphor through an analysis of the changing aetiological accounts of personality disord...

This paper seeks to situate the computational modelling of metaphor within the context of questions about the relationship between the meaning and use of language. The results of this pragmatic assessment are used as the theoretical basis for a proposed computational implementation that seeks metaphor in the geometry of a vector space model of distributional semantics. This statistical approach...
