Fly, fly little Comet! Exploring Subtoken-Level Metaphorical Patterns in Finnish and Hungarian Texts. New Results from the FiHuComet Corpus.

Tímea Borbála Bajzát


Abstract
The FiHuComet Corpus was created to address the gap in the lack of a systematic comparison of metaphor research in Finnish and Hungarian (Bajzát and Simon, 2023). This study aims to: (i) expand the existing quasi-parallel corpus; (ii) explore subtoken-level metaphorical patterns comparatively in the examined languages with rich morphology. The analysis employs a MIPVU-inspired protocol for metaphor identification, the MetaID protocol (Simon et al., 2023). Although this endeavor is not new, the comparative study conducted on a small-scale corpus has only revealed a few aspects of the potential of comparative metaphor analysis in the context of Finno-Ugric languages selected.
