<DIV>The editors of the journal Style invite essays for a special issue
on<BR>cognitive approaches to metaphor and other figures of speech.<BR>For this
special issue, scheduled as volume 36, number 3 (Fall 2002),<BR>the editors plan
to bring together essays from scholars in several<BR>fields, especially
linguistics, rhetoric, and literary study.<BR>Contributions are welcome that
involve either theoretical discussions of<BR>the powers and limitations of the
cognitive approach or applications of<BR>it to figures of speech as they feature
in literary works or other forms<BR>of discourse. Essays appearing
in the issue may be written with a<BR>specific linguistic, rhetorical, or
literary audience in mind. That is,<BR>the essays need not be written for
a general audience but may instead<BR>address an issue in conceptual or
cognitive metaphor within the<BR>framework of the author's discipline.<BR><BR>If
readers of this list know of any colleagues or students who would be<BR>likely
contributors to this issue as well, the editors would appreciate<BR>their
passing this information on to them. And they are certainly<BR>welcome to
suggest names of others whom the editors might directly<BR>invite.<BR><BR>Essays
should be 5,000 to 9,000 words. Please submit three copies,<BR>accompanied
by a 150-word abstract and following the Modern Language<BR>Association's
conventions for documentation. The deadline for<BR>submissions is 15
January 2002.<BR><BR>Submissions or correspondence concerning submissions should
be addressed<BR>to Donald E. Hardy, at <A
href="mailto:dhardy@niu.edu">dhardy@niu.edu</A>, or at Department of
English,<BR>Northern Illinois University, DeKalb, IL
60115-2854.<BR></DIV></BODY></HTML>
