Abstract

The integration of language and vision capabilities in computers can be seen purely as a multimedia task without any theoretical assumptions being required. However, it is worth exploring whether the modalities have anything serious in common, in particular in the light of claim that most non technical language use is metaphorical. What consequences would that have for the underlying relationship of language and vision: is it possible that vision is largely metaphorical? visual processing can embody structural ambiguity, but not anything analogous to metaphor. Metaphor is essentially connected with the extension of sense and only symbols can have senses. But if it makes no sense to say a figure can be metaphorical that must also mean, that it makes no sense to say it is literally anything either
