Impact of Target Word and Context on End-to-End Metonymy Detection
Metonymy is a figure of speech in which an entity is referred to by another related entity. The task of metonymy detection aims to distinguish metonymic tokens from literal ones. Until now, metonymy detection methods attempt to disambiguate only a single noun phrase in a sentence, typically location names or organization names. In this paper, we disambiguate every word in a sentence by reformulating metonymy detection as a sequence labeling task. We also investigate the impact of target word and context on metonymy detection. We show that the target word is less useful for detecting metonymy in our dataset. On the other hand, the entity types that are associated with domain-specific words in their context are easier to solve. This shows that the context words are much more relevant for detecting metonymy.

Target Word Masking for Location Metonymy Resolution
Existing metonymy resolution approaches rely on features extracted from external resources like dictionaries and hand-crafted lexical resources. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end word-level classification approach …
ConMeC: A Dataset for Metonymy Resolution with Common Nouns
Metonymy plays an important role in our daily communication. People naturally think about things using their most salient properties or commonly related concepts. For example, by saying "The bus decided to skip our stop …
Paraphrasing verbal metonymy through computational methods
Verbal metonymy has received relatively scarce attention in the field of computational linguistics despite the fact that a model to accurately paraphrase metonymy has applications both in academia and the technology sect…
Don't Invite BERT to Drink a Bottle: Modeling the Interpretation of Metonymies Using BERT and Distributional Representations
In this work, we carry out two experiments in order to assess the ability of BERT to capture the meaning shift associated with metonymic expressions. We test the model on a new dataset that is representative of the most …
ChainNet: Structured Metaphor and Metonymy in WordNet
The senses of a word exhibit rich internal structure. In a typical lexicon, this structure is overlooked: a word's senses are encoded as a list without inter-sense relations. We present ChainNet, a lexical resource which…
