DESCRIPTION:Figurative and non-literal language\, such as metaphor\, meton
 ymy\, or personification\, poses a special challenge for computational ana
 lysis\, since these expressions are not used with their usual\, ordinary m
 eanings\, as represented in corpus data or recorded in lexical resources\,
  but with different\, derived meanings.\n\nIn the context of the 46th annu
 al conference of the German Linguistic Society (DGfS 2024)\, which will ta
 ke place in Bochum at the end of February 2024\, the subprojects B01 and C
 04 will organize a workshop on the topic of “Computational approaches to
  metaphor and figurative language”.\n\nThe workshop will take place from
  February 28 to March 1\, 2024\, and aims to bring together computational
  linguists working on the automatic analysis of non-literal language. A sp
 ecial focus will be on non-conventionalized usages\, such as novel metapho
 rs or innovative forms of metonymy. In addition\, the organizers are parti
 cularly interested in approaches applicable to languages other than Englis
 h\, for example low-resource languages or domains.\n\nInvited Speakers\n\n
