Hamburg Metaphor Database: Results
- EWN: Synsets with metaphorical meaning are not uncommon in WordNets
- Conceptual information:
- High overlap of domain mappings between French and German
- Several source domains might coexist for the same target domain: POLITICS (target) can be seen in terms of
FIGHT, SPORTS, THEATER, or STUDY
- Some attested domain mappings are missing from the Berkeley list (parallel proprietary German naming system more complete)
- Synsets and conceptual domains:
- "Central synset" refers to overall source domain (e.g. Event like BIRTHING in synset {naissance:2} 'birth')
- Other synsets belonging to the source domain are (or should be) linked to central synset by sense relations (e.g. XPOS_NEAR_SYNONYM 'to give birth', INVOLVED_AGENT 'mother')
