In their Graph Project, Kesarwani et al. (2017) developed models to detect poetic metaphors in English, which has neither been done in NLP nor in the Digital Humanities. Diverging from the Conceptual Metaphor Theory, the authors based their metaphor definition on observations by Neuman et al. (2013), who found three metaphor types that signify their metaphoricity by different part-of-speech (POS) sequences. They focused on detecting Type I metaphors, which are comprised of a “Noun-Verb-Noun” sequence and added the sequence “Noun-Verb-Det-Noun” to this concept. An example for Type I metaphor is the sentence “As if the <hi xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0" rend="bold">world were a taxi</hi>” (Kesarwani et al. 2017, 2).
