本文提出了一个参照隐喻理解的计算模型。该模型是在潜在语义分析(LSA)的基础上设计的，LSA是一种词语和文本意义的表示模型。理解指称隐喻在于扫描隐喻的语义邻居，以便找到与语境也有语义联系的词。搜索的深度与人类理解隐喻所需的时间进行了比较。特别是，我们对两个独立变量感兴趣：指称的性质(字面意义或比喻意义)和语境的性质(归纳或非归纳)。我们发现，对于人类和模型来说，首先，隐喻比字面意义需要更长的加工时间，其次，归纳语境可以缩短加工时间。
This paper presents a computational model of referential metaphor comprehension. This model is designed on top of Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA), a model of the representation of word and text meanings. Comprehending a referential metaphor consists in scanning the semantic neighbors of the metaphor in order to find words that are also semantically related to the context. The depth of that search is compared to the time it takes for humans to process a metaphor. In particular, we are interested in two independent variables : the nature of the reference (either a literal meaning or a figurative meaning) and the nature of the context (inductive or not inductive). We show that, for both humans and model, first, metaphors take longer to process than the literal meanings and second, an inductive context can shorten the processing time.
