MAP: An Abstraction-Based Metaphor Analysis Program for Overcoming Cross-Modal Challenges

摘要: Much of the research on computational metaphor interpretation is based metaphors that are prevalent in language being processed. Moreover, more detailed work this area tends to focus primarily specific domains discourse. Such approaches, while interest and value, not adequate handle novel metaphoric expressions occur a context unrestricted by domain, such as an ordinary conversation or digression from domain-specific context. This chapter describes MAP (Metaphor Analysis Program), computer program processes both conventional cross-modal without restriction particular domain relies kind semantic analysis models what humans hypothesized do when they extend literal meaning one, especially there no clear indication discursive To so, model depends metaphorically used word its sense role structuring topic metaphor.
