Metaphor Detection through Term Relevance
Most computational approaches to metaphor detection try to leverage either conceptual metaphor mappings or selectional preferences. Both require extensive knowledge of the mappings/preferences in question, as well as sufficient data for all involved conceptual domains. Creating these resources is expensive and often limits the scope of these systems. We propose a statistical approach to metapho...
متن کاملMetaphor , Relevance and the ‘ Emergent Property ’
The interpretation of metaphorical utterances often results in the attribution of emergent properties, which are neither standardly associated with the individual constituents in isolation nor derivable by standard rules of semantic composition. An adequate pragmatic account of metaphor interpretation must explain how these properties are derived. Using the framework of relevance theory, we pro...
متن کاملLexical pragmatics, ad hoc concepts and metaphor: A Relevance Theory perspective
Ostensive communication, the paradigm case of which is verbal communication, is the domain of a dedicated cognitive system, according to Relevance Theory (RT). This ‘pragmatics’ module is responsible for inferring the content or meaning that the communicator intends by his/her ostensive stimulus. An important sub-process within the system is the adjustment or modulation of lexically-encoded mea...
متن کاملOn Pragmatic Inference and Metaphor from the Perspective of Relevance Theory
Relevance theory challenges the traditional view of context, proposes the concept of cognitive context and a new inferential model. Its explanation of metaphor from the cognitive perspective is rather different from other metaphor theories. By discussing relevance theory’s views on context and metaphor respectively, this paper, based on the researches of contemporary scholars and pragmatists on...
متن کاملPancomputationalism: Theory or Metaphor
The theory that all processes in the universe are computational is attractive in its promise to provide an understandable theory of everything. I want to suggest here that this ‘pancomputationalism’ is not sufficiently clear on which problem it is trying to solve, and how. I propose two interpretations of pancomputationalism as a theory: I) the world is a computer and II) the world can be descr...
