Vossian Antonomasia is a prolific stylistic device, in use since antiquity. It can compress the introduction or description of a person or another named entity into a terse, poignant formulation and can best be explained by an example: When Norwegian world champion Magnus Carlsen is described as "the Mozart of chess", it is Vossian Antonomasia we are dealing with. The pattern is simple: A source (Mozart) is used to describe a target (Magnus Carlsen), the transfer of meaning is reached via a modifier ("of chess"). This phenomenon has been discussed before (as 'metaphorical antonomasia' or, with special focus on the source object, as 'paragons'), but no corpus-based approach has been undertaken as yet to explore its breadth and variety. We are looking into a full-text newspaper corpus (The New York Times, 1987-2007) and describe a new method for the automatic extraction of Vossian Antonomasia based on Wikidata entities. Our analysis offers new insights into the occurrence of popular paragons and their distribution.

“伟大的迈克尔·乔丹” —从《纽约时报》 1987年至2007年的二十年中提取出的Vossian吻合症

自上古以来，Vossian Antonomasia是一种多产的风格设备。它可以将一个人或另一个命名实体的介绍或描述压缩为简洁的，令人发指的表述，并且可以用一个示例来最好地解释：当挪威世界冠军马格努斯·卡尔森被描述为“国际象棋的莫扎特”时，我们称其为Vossian Antonomasia正在处理。模式很简单：使用源（Mozart）描述目标（Magnus Carlsen），通过修饰符（“国际象棋”）实现意义的传递。以前已经讨论过这种现象（称为“隐喻性厌食症”，或者特别关注源对象，称为“典范”），但是尚未采用基于语料库的方法来探讨其广度和多样性。我们正在研究全文报纸语料库（《纽约时报》，（1987-2007），并描述了一种基于Wikidata实体自动提取Vossian血管瘤的新方法。我们的分析为流行典范的发生及其分布提供了新的见解。
