Metaphor and Artificial Intelligence

<p>This special issue arose out of a symposium on metaphor and artificial intelligence in which the main orientation was computational models and psychological processing models of metaphorical understanding. The papers in this issue discuss: <br> *implemented computational systems for handling different aspects of metaphor understanding;<br> *how metaphor can be accommodated in accepted logical representational frameworks;<br> *psychological processes involved in metaphor understanding; and<br> *the cross-linguistic cognitive reality of conceptual metaphors.</p>
