Title: Moving right along: a computational model of metaphoric reasoning about events
Abstract: This paper describes the results of an implemented computational model that cashes out the belief that reasoning about abstract events and actions relies on metaphoric projections of embodied primitives. The specific task addressed is the interpretation of simple causal narratives taken from newspaper articles in the domains of Politics and Economics. When presented with a surface-parsed version of these narratives as input, the system described is able to generate commonsense inferences consistent with the input.
