Figlang 2024 4th Workshop on Figurative Language Processing Proceedings of the Workshop

Abstract

This paper presents the Multilingual Euphemism Detection Shared Task for the Fourth Workshop on Figurative Language Processing (FigLang 2024) held in conjunction with NAACL 2024. Participants were invited to attempt the euphemism detection task on four different languages (American English, global Spanish, Yorùbá, and Mandarin Chinese): given input text containing a potentially euphemistic term (PET), determine if its use is euphemistic or not. We present the expanded datasets used for the shared task, summarize each team’s methods and findings, and analyze potential implications for future research.
