Abstract

The VU Amsterdam Metaphor Corpus consists of manual annotations of metaphors in four different registers—news texts, fiction, academic texts, and conversations. The goal of building this corpus was to investigate which metaphors are used in which forms, in which discourse contexts, in which registers, and for which purposes. This chapter reports on the development of the annotation scheme and its physical representation, describes the annotation process, and reports on inter-annotator agreement and quality control as well as current usage of the corpus. It also includes some quantitative results on the interaction between metaphor, register, and word class.
