Abstract

An approach for the usage of metaphors in learning terminology in a foreign language is presented. The approach integrates ideas from the metaphor theory of Lakoff and Johnson [6] with techniques from corpus-based computational linguistics, advanced markup languages on the web (XML and XSL), and knowledge acquisition and processing. Metaphors are identified by semi-automatic methods and are annotated accordingly to domain and metaphor ontologies. The corpus with annotated metaphors, together with the domain and metaphor ontologies are used for dynamically generation of personalized web pages.
