1. Introduction
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> The most commonly occurring words in English display a wide range of metaphorically motivated meanings. A knowledge representation system capable of representing these meanings must satisfy two competing requirements. The first requirement is that it must be capable of representing the specific details of each lexicalized metaphor. More precisely it must provide enough knowledge to permit the easy recognition and interpretation of a particular use when it is encountered.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> The second requirement is that the representation must capture the relevant generalizations manifested by the system of metaphors underlying the lexicon taken as a whole. The system therefore must represent both highly specific facts and capture systematic generalizations.</Paragraph>
