Modelling metaphor with attribute-based semantics
One of the key problems in computational metaphor modelling is finding the optimal level of abstraction of semantic representations, such that these are able to capture and generalise metaphorical mechanisms. In this paper we present the first metaphor identification method that uses representations constructed from property norms. Such norms have been previously shown to provide a cognitively plausible representation of concepts in terms of semantic properties. Our results demonstrate that such property-based semantic representations provide a suitable model of cross-domain knowledge projection in metaphors, outperforming standard distributional models on a metaphor identification task.

Night Owls and Majestic Whales: Modeling Metaphor Comprehension as a Rational Speech Act over Vector Representations of Lexical Semantics
While they are one of the few computational models that directly capture some of the pragmatic processes underlying language reasoning, current Rational Speech Act (RSA) models of metaphor do not align well with contempo…
AttributeA framework for annotating and modelling intentions behind metaphor use
Metaphors are part of everyday language and shape the way in which we conceptualize the world. Moreover, they play a multifaceted role in communication, making their understanding and generation a challenging task for la…
Metaphor Detection via Explicit Basic Meanings Modelling
One noticeable trend in metaphor detection is the embrace of linguistic theories such as the metaphor identification procedure (MIP) for model architecture design. While MIP clearly defines that the metaphoricity of a le…
SentenceProbing Semantic Alignment, Lexical Invariance, and Syntactic Influence in LLM Metaphor Processing
Large language models (LLMs) achieve strong performance on metaphor detection and interpretation tasks, yet it remains unclear what such behavioral success reveals about metaphor processing. We present a diagnostic analy…
The Pragmatics behind Politics: Modelling Metaphor, Framing and Emotion in Political Discourse
There has been an increased interest in modelling political discourse within the natural language processing (NLP) community, in tasks such as political bias and misinformation detection, among others. Metaphor-rich and …
