A Current Resource and Future Perspectives for Enriching WordNets with Metaphor Information
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article deals with the question whether metaphors might be integrated into WordNets in a more systematic way. After outlining the advantages of having more information on metaphors in WordNets, it presents the Hamburg Metaphor Database and a possible method for integrating metaphors and corresponding equivalence relations into monolingual WordNets. Finally, problems are discussed that will have to be faced before more metaphor information could be included in WordNets.

متن کاملEnriching Wordnets with New Relations and with Event and Argument Structures
This paper argues that wordnets, being concept-based computational lexica, should include information on event and argument structures. This general approach is relevant both for allowing computational grammars to cope with a number of different lexical semantics phenomena, as well as for enabling inference applications to obtain finergrained results. We also propose new relations in order to a...
