Generating Conceptual Metaphors from Proposition Stores

Understand

Contemporary research on computational processing of linguistic metaphors is divided into two main branches: metaphor recognition and metaphor interpretation.

• We take a different line of research and present an automated method for generating conceptual metaphors from linguistic data.
• Given the generated conceptual metaphors, we find corresponding linguistic metaphors in corpora.
• In this paper, we describe our approach and its evaluation using English and Russian data.
