SUMMARY:Computational approaches to metaphor & fig
 urative language (DGfS 2024), Bochum, Germany

DESCRIPTION:Workshop at the Annual Conference of t
 he German Linguistic Society (DGfS 2024).  Figurat
 ive and non-literal language, such as metaphor, me
 tonymy, or personification, poses a special challe
 nge for computational analysis, since these expres
 sions are not used with their usual, ordinary mean
 ings, as represented in corpus data or recorded in
  lexical resources, but with different, derived me
 anings.  We aim to bring together computational li
 nguists working on the automatic analysis of non-l
 iteral language. A special focus will be on non-co
 nventionalized usages, such as novel metaphors or 
 innovative forms of metonymy. In addition, we are 
 particularly interested in approaches applicable t
 o languages other than English, for example low-re
 source languages or domains.  We welcome contribut
 ions dealing with the identification of (specific 
 forms of) non-literal language, with the interpret
 ation of figurative expressions, or with the relat
 ion between literal and non-literal meanings in di
 stributional semantic representations. Further, we
  are interested in discussing how the meaning of f
 igurative expressions is negotiated, for example i
 n social media, and how distributional semantic re
 presentations can be enriched in order to reflect 
 figurative meaning. The workshop language is Engli
 sh for both abstracts and talks.
