Processing of figurative language is a rapidly growing area in NLP, including computational modeling of metaphors, idioms, puns, irony, sarcasm, simile, and other figures. Characteristic to all areas of human activity (from poetic, ordinary, scientific, social media) and, thus, to all types of discourse, figurative language becomes an important problem for NLP systems. Its ubiquity in language has been established in a number of corpus studies and the role it plays in human reasoning has been confirmed in psychological experiments.

Euphemism Detection Shared Task
Euphemisms are mild or indirect expressions used in place of harsher or more offensive ones. Euphemisms are often used to mask profanity or refer to taboo topics such as death, disability, sex, religion or personal relationships in a polite way. Euphemisms are often ambiguous: their literal and non-literal interpretation is context-dependent:

Call for Participation

This is the last call for participation in a shared task on metaphor detection held at the workshop on processing figurative language @NAACL2018.

Metaphor is a commonly used form of figurative language. Consider, for example: "In Washington, people change dance partners frequently, but not the dance" (metaphors are italicized). The goal is to classify all content words in a text as being a metaphor or not, as well as a separate classification task just for the verbs.
