Previous work on metaphor detection relies on either rulebased or statistical models, none of them applied to poetry. Our method focuses on metaphor detection in a poetry corpus. It combines rule-based and statistic...

It uses specific language devices to maximise the significance of the poem, just as...

'Poetry' and 'prose' are categories which are normally used to distinguish the two main types of discourse in language. But there is some debate whether this division is helpful and valid when applied to the discourse of the Hebrew Bible. Whereas most scholars accept the validity of the two categories, Kugel (1981) has argued forcefully that the category of poetry is a misleading imposition of ...
