Conceptual Space Design Based on Word Embedding for Dynamic Metaphor Network Construction

Published: 04 November 2021 Publication History

Abstract

Metaphors are not only an essential thought approach often used to express ideas and emotions that may be difficult to express literally, but also a component of the human conceptual system. Our way of thinking and experience are actually metaphorically expressed. With the development of cognitive research on metaphors, especially in terms of promoting understanding of natural language, it is urgent to come up with a computational model for understanding metaphors based on cognitive mechanisms. Many studies have been done in pragmatism and cognitive linguistics, especially in the process of metaphor understanding in pragmatism and in the expression of metaphor guidance in cognitive linguistics. In this paper, I would like to propose a way to define a vocabulary (e.g., politics is war) that characterizes the source area of conceptual metaphor (e.g., politics) as a way to identify metaphor by building a conceptual space for the formation of a metaphor-based dynamic metaphor network (DM-Net).
