Another neat article I came across today:
http://gizmodo.com/5805673/us-intelligence-crunches-metaphor s-to-understand-foreign-language However, the full article at The Atlantic has an even better title: http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2011/05/why-ar e-spy-researchers-building-a-metaphor- program/239402/ Short form: "Every speaker in every language in the world uses them effortlessly, and the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity wants know how what we say reflects our worldviews. They call it The Metaphor Program, and it is a unique effort within the government to probe how a people's language reveals their mindset. "The Metaphor Program will exploit the fact that metaphors are pervasive in everyday talk and reveal the underlying beliefs and worldviews of members of a culture," declared an open solicitation for researchers released last week. A spokesperson for IARPA declined to comment at the time." 1 person has voted this message useful |
