A method for language specific metaphorical conceptualization analysis

The poster presents a method for a language specific metaphorical conceptualization analysis developed within the MetaNet.HR project (a repository of conceptual metaphors, semantic frames, image schemas, and cognitive primitives of the Croatian Language). In building the database, a bottom-up corpus based analysis is used that enables language-specific and English independent examination of conceptual systems. For each concept, a web corpus is analyzed using Sketch Engine (Kilgarriff et al., 2004). First, a list of target words for which the corpus is queried is compiled using word sketches and the thesaurus option in Sketch Engine. A word sketch and a random concordance sample (300 lines per target word) is analyzed for each of the target words. The samples are then annotated on the linguistic level (using the MIPVU procedure, Steen et al., 2010), and on the conceptual level using more annotators and measuring IAA. This procedure is ready to be used for other languages in achieving the ultimate goal of creating a large-scale multilingual figurative thought and language repository.
