Scope: Mind, language and metaphor is a new conference series that will explore the
role of metaphor and metonymy in language and thought. This first conference will
consider points of convergence between three major fields of contemporary research:
figurative language, imagination and consciousness. It will consider such questions
as: the role of conscious and unconscious processes in metaphor production and
interpretation; the role of 'seeing as' in the development of consciousness;
interactions between imagination, perception and cognition; and how bodily and neural
 processes create and constrain the imagination. The aim is to generate a new
understanding of the relationship between consciousness and the imagination.
Cross-linguistic data and research into all European languages is particularly
encouraged.

The conference is open to researchers world-wide, whether from industry or academia.
Participation will be limited to 100. The emphasis will be on discussion about new
developments. The conference fee covers registration, full board and lodging. Grants
will be available, in particular for nationals under 35, from EU or Associated States.

Deadline: 1st February 2002.
