or 6, 2018, in New Orleans, LA. Papers describing the participating systems
will be published in the workshop's proceedings.


Final Call for Papers: 

This is the final call for participation in a shared task on metaphor
detection held at the workshop on processing figurative language @NAACL2018.

Metaphor is a commonly used form of figurative language. Consider, for
example: ''In Washington, people change [dance partners] frequently, but not
[the dance]'' (metaphors are in brackets). The goal is to classify all content
words in a text as being a metaphor or not, as well as a separate
classification task just for the verbs. 

For more details about participation and to register to the shared task,
please refer to:
