In this paper we provide a formalization of a set of default rules that we claim are required for the transfer of information such as causation, event rate and duration in the interpretation of metaphor. Such rules are domain-independent and are identified as invariant adjuncts to any conceptual metaphor. We also show a way of embedding the invariant mappings in a semantic framework. | On the formalization of Invariant Mappings for Metaphor Interpretation Rodrigo Agerri John Barnden Mark Lee and Alan Wallington School of Computer Science Univ. of Birmingham B15 2TT Birmingham UK Abstract In this paper we provide a formalization of a set of default rules that we claim are required for the transfer of information such as causation event rate and duration in the interpretation of metaphor. Such rules are domain-independent and are identified as invariant adjuncts to any conceptual metaphor. We also show a way of embedding the invariant mappings in a semantic framework. 1 Introduction It is generally accepted that much of everyday language shows evidence of metaphor. We assume the general view that metaphor understanding involves some notion of events properties relations etc. that are transferred from the source domain into the target domain. In this view a metaphorical utterance conveys information about the target domain. We are particularly interested in the metaphorical utterances that we call map-transcending. Consider the following example 1 McEnroe starved Connors to death. We do not address in this paper the issue of when an utterance is to be considered metaphorical. Instead we aim to offer an explanation of how a metaphorical utterance such as 1 can be interpreted. If we infer using our knowledge about McEnroe and Connors that 1 is used to describe a tennis match it can be understood as an example of the conceptual metaphors or in our terminology metaphorical views DEFEAT AS DEATH 109 and NECESSITIES AS FOOD. However these metaphorical views would not contain any relationship that maps the specific manner of dying that constitutes being starved to death we say that starving is a map-transcending entity . Yet one could argue that the manner of Connors s death is a crucial part of the informational contribution of 1 . A possible solution would be to create a new view-specific mapping that goes from the form of killing
