N2 - A general practice in research of metaphor has been to investigate metaphor's application and computation based on its behavior and function in different contexts. This paper investigates the postulate of verb's built-in property of Metaphor Making Potential (MMP), thus being an initiatory context-free experiment with metaphor. A case study of a selected group of English core verbs has been conducted. A new algorithm is proposed to operationalize the assessment of English verb's MMP in the framework of WordNet and SUMO. A hypothesis is set up to testify the validity of verb's MMP.
