We present a novel approach to metaphor interpretation and a system that
produces literal paraphrases for metaphorical expressions. Such a
representation is directly transferable to other applications that can
benefit from a metaphor processing component. Our method is distinguished
from the previous work in that it does not rely on any hand-crafted
knowledge about metaphor, but in contrast employs automatically induced
selectional preferences. Being the first of its kind, our system is capable
of paraphrasing metaphorical expressions with a high accuracy (0.81).
