Subject: Metaphor, etc.

In response to Don Nilssen's question:

There are a number of people in computational linguistics working on
various types of non-literal language, such as metaphor, metonymy, etc. In
fact, I organized a session for last spring's ACH/ALLC titled "AI Approaches
to Metaphor," the abstracts of which can be found in the proceedings. Two
of the speakers, Dan Fass and James Martin, were among the organizers for a
Workshop on Non-literal Language held in Australia recently. The proceedings
of that workshop are available from James Martin (martin@cs.colorado.edu) for
$5. The same group are planning another workshop within the next year. Dan
Fass's address is Computer Science at Simon Fraser (fass@cs.sfu.edu).

AN excellent book just out on the subject of stereotype is LES IDEES RECUES.
SEMIOLOGIE DU STEREOTYPE, by Ruth Amossy, published in Paris by Nathan in
their "Le texte a l'oeuvre" series. R. AMossy had previously co-authored
another book on the subject with Elisheva Rosen: "Les discours du cliche,
Paris, CDU-SEDES, 1982. Both authors teach at Tel Aviv University.
