Metaphor and Analogy are perhaps the most challenging phenomena for a conceptual representation to facilitate, since by their very nature they seek to stretch the boundaries of domain description and dynamically establish new ways of determining inter-domain similarity. This research considers the problem of how a conceptual system structured around a central taxonomy can dynamically create new...

In this article, we present details about our ongoing work towards building a repository of Linguistic and Conceptual Metaphors. This resource is being developed as part of our research effort into the large-scale detection of metaphors from unrestricted text. We have stored a large amount of automatically extracted metaphors in American English, Mexican Spanish, Russian and Iranian Farsi in a ...

The duality of computer programs is characterized, on the one hand, by their physical implementations on physical devices, and, on the other, by the conceptual implementations in programmers’ minds of the objects making up the computational processes they conceive. We contend that central to programmers’ conceptual implementations are (i) the concept of type, at both the programming and the des...

This study investigates whether understanding up/down metaphors as well as semantically homologous literal sentences activates embodied representations online. Participants read orientational literal sentences (e.g., she climbed up the hill), metaphors (e.g., she climbed up in the company), and abstract sentences with similar meaning to the metaphors (e.g., she succeeded in the company). In Exp...

Teasing apart the role of cognitive and linguistic factors in children's metaphorical abilities. ABSTRACT Metaphor plays a unique role in cognitive development by structuring abstract concepts and leading to conceptual change. Existing work suggests early emergence of metaphorical abilities, with five-year-olds understanding and explaining metaphors that involve cross-domain comparisons (e.g., ...

This paper addresses the question whether metaphors can be represented in WordNets. For this purpose, domain-centered data is collected from the Hamburg Metaphor Database, an online source created for the study of possible metaphor representations in WordNets. Based on the results of the analyses of French and German corpus data and EuroWordNet, the implementation problem is discussed. It can b...
