A probability-based approach to metaphor #4

Open jobarber opened 3 years ago

jobarber commented 3 years ago

I think this could be a slightly more promising approach to identifying metaphors or frame blends. I need help experimenting here (especially with LANGUAGE!). Test several sentences from different genres. Are the metaphors semi-regularly lower probability? Only in certain genres? Are the nouns in frame blends relatively low probability (perhaps compared to some other noun phrases in the sentence with higher probability)? What can we learn that you can share here?
