- Build an online database of French and German metaphors
- Annotate metaphors in corpora
with synsets and general conceptual information:
- Text corpora are centered around selected topics, for example a given
political or sports event (Master Theses written at IRom, Prof. W. Settekorn)
- Synset information is looked up in the respective part of EuroWordNet
- General conceptual information is entered according to the Conceptual
Metaphor Theory (Lakoff & Johnson 1980); names for conceptual "source" and
"target" domains can be found in the Berkeley Master Metaphor List (Lakoff et
al. 1991)
- Study the feasability of a systematic metaphor representation in WordNets
