Metaphor Identification as Interpretation
Automatic metaphor identification and interpretation in text have been traditionally considered as two separate tasks in natural language processing (NLP) and addressed individually within computational frameworks. However, cognitive evidence suggests that humans are likely to perform these two tasks simultaneously, as part of a holistic metaphor comprehension process. We present a novel method...
متن کاملCholinesterase inhibition: complexities in interpretation.
Cholinesterases are measured to assess exposures to or effects of organophosphorus esters and carbamates. Plasma butyrylcholinesterase is usually most sensitive to inhibitors, but it has no known physiological function(s); its inhibition reflects exposure. The physiological function of erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase (AChE) also is not known, but the enzyme is the same as that involved in syna...
متن کاملMetaphor Interpretation as Selective Inferencing
Metaphor pervades na tu ra l language discourse. This paper describes a computational approach to the i n te rp re ta t i on of metaphors. It is based on a na tu ra l language processing system that uses the discourse problems posed by a tex t to se lect the re levant inferences. The problem of i n t e r p r e t i n g metaphors can then be t rans la ted into the problem of se lec t i ng the re ...
متن کاملDefault Inferences in Metaphor Interpretation
In this paper we provide a formalization of a set of default rules that we claim are required for the transfer of information such as causation, event rate and duration in the interpretation of metaphor. Such rules are domainindependent and are identified as invariant adjuncts to any conceptual metaphor. Furthermore, we show the role that these invariant mappings play in a semantic framework fo...
متن کاملDynamic Semantics for Metaphor 1 Running head: Dynamic Semantics for Metaphor Dynamic Semantics for Metaphor
An intensional logic with dynamic interpretation is presented in order to provide a formal semantics for sense extension, lexical ambiguity and metaphoricity. Intensionality is required in order to provide the right account of polysemy and homonymy. The dynamics are required in order to allow the interpretation of a sentence to impact the interpretation of subsequent sentences by adding any ext...
