<font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font style="font-size:11pt"><font color="#000000"><span style="background-color:transparent">Metaphor
processing is a rapidly growing area in NLP. The ubiquity of metaphor
in language has been established in a number of corpus studies and
the role it plays in human reasoning has been confirmed in
psychological experiments. This makes metaphor an important research
area for computational and cognitive linguistics, and its automatic
identification and interpretation indispensable for any
semantics-oriented NLP application.</span></font></font></font></p>
<p class="" align="JUSTIFY"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font style="font-size:11pt"><font color="#000000"><span style="background-color:transparent">The
work on metaphor in NLP and AI started in the 1980s, providing us
with a wealth of ideas on the structure and mechanisms of the
phenomenon. The last decade witnessed a technological leap in natural
language computation, whereby manually crafted rules gradually give
way to more robust corpus-based statistical methods. This is also the
case for metaphor research. In the recent years, the problem of
metaphor modeling has been steadily gaining interest within the NLP
community, with a growing number of approaches exploiting statistical
techniques. Compared to more traditional approaches based on
hand-coded knowledge, these more recent methods tend to have a wider
coverage, as well as be more efficient, accurate and robust. However,
even the statistical metaphor processing approaches so far often
focused on a limited domain or a subset of phenomena. At the same
time, recent work on computational lexical semantics and lexical
acquisition techniques, as well as a wide range of NLP methods
applying machine learning to open-domain semantic tasks, open many
new avenues for creation of large-scale robust tools for recognition
and interpretation of metaphor.</span></font></font></font></p>

<font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font style="font-size:11pt"><font color="#000000"><span style="background-color:transparent">The
main focus of the workshop will be on computational modeling of
metaphor using state-of-the-art NLP techniques. However, papers on
cognitive, linguistic, and applied aspects of metaphor are also of
interest, provided that they are presented within a computational, a
formal or a quantitative framework. We also encourage descriptions of
proposals and data sets for shared tasks on metaphor processing. In
comparison to last year's workshop, the Second Workshop on Metaphor
in NLP will broaden its scope by encouraging submissions on special
themes of computational processing of emotions and affect in
metaphor, as well as processing of metaphorical language in social
media.</span></font></font></font></p>
