{"pk":33009,"title":"Belief Modelling, Intentionality and Perlocution in Metaphor Comprehension","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Metaphor is an elegant, concise, often startling communicative form which is employed by a speaker as a means of conveying a state of affairs to a hearer; as such, it deserves to be analysed as a speech-act, with a particular illocutionary intent and perlocutionary effect. This paper describes a hybrid symbolic/connectionist model of meuphor (SAPPER by Veale & Keane. 1993), which incorporates elements of the belief ascription model of (Wilks. Bamden & Wang, 1991). This extended framework provides a suitable computational envirormient for analysing the illocutionary intent of the speaker, and perlocutionary effect upon the hearer's belief space, of a broad class of metaphors with an observable ameliorative/pejorative connotation.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Refereed Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9609v867","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Tony","middle_name":"","last_name":"Veale","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Dublin , Trinity College","department":""},{"first_name":"Mark","middle_name":"T.","last_name":"Keane","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Dublin , Trinity College","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"1994-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/33009/galley/24070/download/"}]}
