    <abstract>We explore the role of the visual modality and of vision transformers in predicting the compositionality of English noun compounds. Crucially, we contribute a framework to address the challenge of obtaining adequate images that represent non-compositional compounds (such as “couch potato”), making it relevant for any image-based approach targeting figurative language. Our method uses prompting strategies and diffusion models to generate images. Comparing and combining our approach with a state-of-the-art text-based approach reveals complementary contributions regarding features as well as degrees of abstractness in compounds.</abstract>
