We present a method of constructing the semantic signatures of target concepts expressed in metaphoric expressions as well as a method to determine the conceptual space of a metaphor using the constructed semantic signatures and a semantic expansion. We evaluate our methodology by focusing on metaphors where the target concept is
Governance
. Using the semantic signature constructed for this concept, we show that the conceptual spaces generated by our method are judged to be highly acceptable by humans.
