Solutions lexicales automatiques pour m¨¦taphores %A Yann Desalle %A Bruno Gaume %A Karine Duvignau %J Traitement Automatique des Langues %D 2010 %I Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues (ATALA) %X This article presents SLAM, an Automatic Solver for Lexical Metaphors like "d¨¦shabiller* une pomme" (to undress* an apple). SLAM calculates a conventional solution for these productions. To carry on it, SLAM has to intersect the paradigmatic axis of the metaphorical verb "d¨¦shabiller*", where "peler" ("to peel") comes closer, with a syntagmatic axis that comes from a corpus where "peler une pomme" (to peel an apple) is semantically and syntactically regular. We test this model on DicoSyn, which is a "small world" network of synonyms, to compute the paradigmatic axis and on Frantext.20, a French corpus, to compute the syntagmatic axis. Further, we evaluate the model with a sample of an experimental corpus of the database of Flexsem. %K metaphor %K synonym %K proxsem %K gaph %K small world %K prox %K flexsem %K syntex %U http://www.atala.org/IMG/pdf/TAL-2009-50-1-06-Desalle.pdf
