Mip Research

3. MIP Procedure Documentation

Document the exact procedure each annotator will follow:

1. Read passage in full context
2. Identify lexical units
3. Determine contextual meaning (in THIS passage)
4. Determine basic meaning (most concrete, bodily, historically older)
5. Compare: if different and understood via comparison, mark as metaphor
6. Classify MIPVU type (direct, indirect, implicit)
7. Map source → target domains

Output

Create mip-analysis/research-notes.md with:

# MIP Research Notes

## Scholarly Context
[Document key sources and findings]

## Seed CMT Systems
[4 systems with expected textual manifestations]

## MIP Procedure for Annotators
[Step-by-step procedure with examples]

## Historical Context
[Jazz Age context relevant to metaphor interpretation]

## Annotation Guidelines
- Target: 8-15 metaphors per chapter
- Focus on thematically significant metaphors
- Include both conventional and novel metaphors

Process

1. Create mip-analysis/ directory if it doesn't exist
2. Conduct web searches for relevant scholarship
3. Synthesize findings into structured research notes
4. Document the annotator procedure clearly enough for subagents to follow

Success Criteria

• Research notes contain at least 3 scholarly sources
• 4 seed CMT systems documented with textual expectations
• MIP procedure written as clear, actionable steps
• Ready for /mip-annotate phase
