Abstract

A detailed approach has been developed for core aspects of the task of understanding a broad class of metaphorical utterances. The utterances in question are those that depend on known metaphorical mappings but that nevertheless contain elements not mapped by those mappings. A reasoning system has been implemented that partially instantiates the theoretical approach. The system, called ATT Meta, will be demonstrated. The paper briefly indicates how the system works, and outlines some specific aspects of the system, approach and the overall project.
