Abstract

This paper advocates a microfeature based approach towards developing computational models for metaphor interpretation . It is argued that the existing models based on semantic networks and mappings of complex symbolic structures are insufficient and inappropriate for modeling metaphors. A connectionist model of metaphor interpretation based on microfeatures is presented, which tries to take into account some important issues, such as accurate capturing of similarity, automatic formation of features , contextual effects, elimination of long paths in conceptual hierarchies, salience imbalance , and feature enhancement . Some of these issues have broad implications in cognitive modeling.
