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.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1995/56","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1995/0056.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1995/56.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1995/bibtex/56","volume":{"slug":"1995","title":"Proceedings of the Fourteenth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1995","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1995/","year":1995,"location":"Montréal, Québec, Canada","dates":"","editors":"Chris S.
