We show that it is possible to reliably dis-criminate whether a syntactic construction is meant literally or metaphorically using lexical semantic features of the words that participate in the construction. Our model is constructed using English resources, and we obtain state-of-the-art performance relative to previous work in this language. Using a model transfer approach by piv-oting through a bilingual dictionary, we show our model can identify metaphoric expressions in other languages. We pro-vide results on three new test sets in Span-ish, Farsi, and Russian. The results sup-port the hypothesis that metaphors are conceptual, rather than lexical, in nature. 1
