Abstract
This paper shows a new approach to detect metonymy by noting mitate-shi : kinds of Japanese expressions, related to how to recognize objects people see, such as “no naka.” This idea is based on the concept of CONTAINER schema which reflects on our cognitive capacity, that is, people recognize various objects as a kind of container. Using mitate-shi, we can automatically capture humanlike and detailed knowledge base from corpora. In order to detect the container for contents metonymy, we use such knowledge base and attempt to estimate our effectiveness of detecting the metonymy.
