A frame-semantic approach to conceptual metaphors in the domain of emotion by Phillip A. Neumair, Fiona M. Gehrecke, Stefan Hartmann, Alexander Ziem

“…For modeling both the source and target domains of metaphors, the CoMetNet (Conceptual Metaphor Network) project uses frames documented in the German FrameNet-Constructicon project in spite of ad hoc created domains in previous literature. By doing so, it strives for a more empirically motivated description of conceptual metaphors. …”
