Abstract
This paper presents guidelines for the annotation of deliberate linguistic metaphor. Expressions that contribute to the same metaphorical image are annotated as a chain along with a semantically contrasting expression of the target domain, which helps to make the domain contrast inherent to metaphor more explicit. So far, a corpus of ten TEDx talks with a total of ca. 20k tokens has been annotated according to these guidelines. 1.35% of the tokens are deliberate metaphorical expressions according to our guidelines, which shows that our guidelines successfully identify a significantly higher proportion of deliberate metaphorical expressions than previous studies.- Anthology ID:
