Knowledge bases for natural language processing systems which can support the interpretation of figurative language input must reflect certain pragmatic considerations in their representations. Among these are salience, prototypicality and epitomization. Confusion of these three terms in the literature impedes a clear understanding of their effect and the requirements for their possible implementation. An exploration of their differences and interrelationships is presented with an eye toward solving the "containment problem" for figurative language. The notions of a "holistic approach" and "disjoint clustering" are introduced. Implications for machine translation are briefly discussed.
? In , the phenomenon of epitomization is described by "hyperbolicity" and "range of possible values".
~t Work in progress includes analysis of metaphors in context taken from natural speech and written texts.
