Final CfP: 3rd Workshop on Processing Figurative Language

The workshop will be held in conjunction with EMNLP 2022, and due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this will be a hybrid (in-person and virtual) event.

Date: December 8, 2022

Venue: Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Company, Khaleej Al Arabi Street, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates / virtual

The workshop is the third edition of the biennial Workshop on Figurative Language Processing, whose first edition was held at NAACL 2018 and the second -- at ACL 2020. The main focus is on computational modeling of figurative language using state-of-the-art NLP techniques. However, papers on cognitive, linguistic, social, rhetorical, and applied aspects are also of interest, provided that they are presented within a computational, formal, or a quantitative framework. In addition, we will hold two shared tasks: grounded understanding of figurative language and euphemism detection.
