Researchers have developed CAMMAR, a novel framework designed to improve the understanding of metaphorical language in Arabic. Current Arabic language models often conflate lexical, cultural, and metaphorical meanings, a problem termed "semantic smearing." CAMMAR addresses this by organizing meaning into distinct nested embedding subspaces: lexical, cultural, and metaphorical, guided by a staged semantic curriculum. This approach models figurative meaning based on Al-Jurjani's theory of nazum and enables a training-free geometric measure of metaphoricity by calculating the distance between lexical and metaphorical representations.
