OCTOBER 2018
At the 4th International Conference on Figurative Thought and Language (FTL4) organized by the Catholic University in Braga I had a talk Mixed, entangled, and narrative metaphors. The paper aimed at presenting three types of atypical metaphors in the Synamet—Polish Corpus of Synesthetic Metaphors. During the annotation of texts from blogs, three types of metaphor were distinguished that cannot be described using the CMT. The problematic metaphors found in our corpus are mixed metaphors, “entangled” metaphors, and extended (narrative) metaphors.
