Methapor dataset with some twists
They annotated Spanish 117K tokens (3.6K sentences) for being metaphoric or not

🟦new dataset
🟦2-10% of sentences have a metaphor🤨
🟦Cross lingual - SoTA on Spanish, and they didn't even multitask

The old man the ship? Easy

LMs underestimate the surprisal of garden path sentences and syntax
Controlling for words complexity (lexical)
