Searching for Sound-Meaning Collisions: Graph-Based Affordance Retrieval and Multi-Evaluator Ranking for Pun Translation at CLEF 2026 JOKER Task 2

arXiv:2608.04299v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Fifteen years ago, Low proposed that pun translators should stop searching for equivalent words and instead search for new points of contact between sound and meaning. In this paper, we investigate that idea computationally. We model pun translation as a process of discov
