  text: Metaphorical language is a pivotal element inthe realm of political framing.
    Existing workfrom linguistics and the social sciences providescompelling evidence
    regarding the distinctivenessof conceptual framing for politicalideology perspectives.
    However, the nature andutilization of metaphors and the effect on audiencesof
    different political ideologies withinpolitical discourses are hardly explored.
    Toenable research in this direction, in this workwe create a dataset, originally
    based on newseditorials and labeled with their persuasive effectson liberals and
    conservatives and extend itwith annotations pertaining to metaphorical usageof
    language. To that end, first, we identifyall single metaphors and composite metaphors.Secondly,
    we provide annotations of the sourceand target domains for each metaphor. As aresult,
    our corpus consists of 300 news editorialsannotated with spans of texts containingmetaphors
    and the corresponding domains ofwhich these metaphors draw from. Our analysisshows
    that liberal readers are affected bymetaphors, whereas conservatives are resistantto
    them. Both ideologies are affected differentlybased on the metaphor source and
    targetcategory. For example, liberals are affected bymetaphors in the Darkness
    {&} Light (e.g., death)source domains, where as the source domain ofNature affects
    conservatives more significantly.
